I have basil and oregano in one pot the basil had a lot of brown tips and the oregano leaves were small and flowered pretty quickly before I harvested. Any ideas?

    Too much or too little sun, not enough water, or not the correct amount of plant food if you fed them. My basil plants bolted too quickly and I discovered it was because they had too much sun.

    Hi Dan. Make sure the pot is also big enough. They could be root bound. I also pinch the flowers off of the basil once it starts to flower.

    Definitely check into the amount of sun! I personally only use rain water to water my herb garden. I've had no problems and they do very well. Hopefully this helps a bit 😊

    Most herbs do not prefer fertilizer.
