June 13, 2018Q.Herbs
I've had done herbs for less than two weeks and they're not doing very well. The problem is I can't tell if I'm overwatering or underwatering them. Any tips how to know? It seems strange I can't tell these apart. They're in partial sunlight and we water them every few days when the earth seems dry inside.

June 13, 2018A.I can't get a good idea what size container you may be using. If the container is too large, it can be difficult to tell is the soil is overwatered. Soil should be moist, but never soggy or dried out. Roots can suffer root rot easily in a container that is too large.
Individual pots would also be a suggestion. Also your Herbs need full sun. 6 plus hours of sunlight.These articles have more information.

November 5, 2018Q.Winter harvesting.
I’m looking for a good resource to get plant specific details that will show me which herbs, grasses, vines and flowers I can grow in a greenhouse throughout winter. And how to do it efficiently. Things like minimum light requirements, dormancy periods, temperature sensitivity... I’m in Texas ( North Dallas). Any tips, ideas, books, videos or other reference material would be greatly appreciated.

June 3, 2019Q.safe to mix edible herbs and flowers in the same container?
is it safe to eat edible herbs that are grown in the same container as coleus, vinca vine, spike dracaena, lysimachia, and petunias?

June 4, 2019A.Some of these are toxic, and do run the risk of transferring toxins. I would urge you to be on the safe side, and only eat things that are planted with other edibles. This will cut out any risk of cross contamination.

Certified ExpertA.It depends on what you choose to plant! Some herbs will do just fine in your area. Some will have to be treated as annuals. These articles will help:

Certified ExpertA.We don't make product recommendations but you can ask your local extension office or a nearby nursery for recommendations. Also ask people you know who may have ordered. I would avoid random people selling them on auction sites or other venues. We get a lot of questions from people who ordered online and ended up with weeds.

Certified ExpertA.According to the label it is safe to apply on fruits and vegetables but should not be sprayed closer than one day before harvest. And I would definitely rinse them.
However, the packaged product itself is toxic if consumed, according to a safety sheet on Yates website.
