Experience I have been growing herbs organically for 27 years. I have also written and self-published, loose leaf binder, "Herbmans Journal". 2008 is my last year at Smile Herb Shop. I plan to grow herbs in my small back yard and sell at David's Natural Store in Columbia, Md. on saturdays. I also will return to the Baltimore Herb Festival in May 2009(memorial day weekend).I used the word organically grown, but the state came into the picture and stated that I could not use the word unless I become certified & paid a $300.00 fee. I decided to add to my name (99% chemical-free) since nothing on this planet is 100%, except Jesus Christ, taxes & death. My customers were satisfied with this instead of paying a large fee and raising my prices,with no guarantee that it is organic except for a label.Their belief was in my word.
Question i have 2 mint plant inside and they both have mold looking stuff on the leaves, white-ish. it powdery too. can they be saved. second question, where do u cut the above herbs for cooking?
Answer michele:
Put all plants outside. The mints need outside climate. The basil needs an eastern or southern exposure. Cut all plants from the top down by 1/3, every 3 weeks.Cut 1/4" above a pair of leaves. Leave at least 1 pair of leaves on the branch.Your mints should return next year when outdoors.
