Well, I’ve managed to kill off another herb. That makes 3 herbs in the graveyard in a very short amount of time. First it was Dill, then Basil and now Oregano. I’m starting to feel like a miserable failure when it comes to herbs. 😢

    My dad used to have an herb garden and he would water it once a week and add the used coffee grounds to the soil. They sprouted and we used them a bunch but some herbs did die after a while. They might have been too close together…I don’t really know. Once I keep the plants I have alive long enough…I’m going to start up my herb garden. So, I’ll check back in !! (:

    The trick to many plants is to learn where they're from. Most herbs are Mediterranean, so they like plenty of sun, less fertile soil than you'd expect, and to dry out between waterings. Next time, try adding plenty of perlite to your soil mix to help give them extra drainage. also yours looks like it might be dehydrated. Give it a bottom-watering soak for 20 minutes, let it drain really well, and see if it bounces back

      And don't be discouraged! It's normal to kill about three of any given species/species group before you figure out what they need
