A week later
As I mentioned in my previous post, our little herb garden isn’t doing so hot a week later.
For one, it seems that we were supposed to put the fertilizer fairly soon after potting them. So when some leaves turned yellow we thought it was just a case of malnutrition and we poured some liquid fertilizer late last week.
And as of this morning, the herbs and veggies are doing okay though two of the lettuces seem rather dodgy:
Herbs and veggies galore
And here’s a close-up of the dodgy lettuce:
Dodgy lookin' lettuce
However, if that looked bad, what I saw on the free tomato plant we got surprised me even more:
Time to go ...
While this surprised me, I didn’t do anything about it except water it. I figured the dead leaves will wither, fall, and turn into compost. Michelle, however, checked it online earlier this evening and decided it had a case of either a fungal or viral infection. Either way, it was time for the freebie to go. So shortly afterward I yanked the plant out, put it into a plastic bag and tied it up, hoping the other plants will be okay. We saw some of the other leaves and we think they’ll be okay.
