      I think I found my problem. I always bought the plants.They don't like to be transplanted. I need to use seeds! Thanks a bunch!

    I grow it in a kids hard plastic wading pool. Drill 1/4" holes around bottom of pool (about 15). Put your organic soil in and fill it to an inch below the rim. Buy 3 or 4 packs of seed from SeedsofChange.com. That way you can be sure that what you are growing is not GMO and toxic. Sprinkle the seed evenly around the dirt, cover seed with 1/4" of soil. Pat down very lightly. Use a mist setting on your hose and water until water runs out the bottom. Water daily maybe twice. Don't let the seed dry out. It will self-seed every year. God Bless

    I have grown it in the past and I treated it the same as my parsley. Nothing special, just make sure it gets the water and sunlight it needs and occasionally fertilize. If it is in the house, you would probably need a grow light.

    Go to Kroger and buy some??? That’s what I do and I can grow almost anything.

    I may be overwatering it. Not really sure. Seems to get worse when I do. My parsley does better with less water. I also live in Texas and the summerheat just about does it in. I have a two leaf one under a grow light now. Will see how that works. Thank you
