How Many Times a Day Do I Water my Indoor Herb Garden?

Filed under :Indoor Herb Garden

I bought a mint garden, and a basil garden from my my neighbourhood farmers market. They are already grown and they look stunning on my window sill, but how do i keep them from dyeing?

How many times do i water them? Do i use a lot of water? Do i only wet the soil, or can i wet the actual plant as well?
Is there a certain way to pick the herb out of it’s stem? If so, how?

Please give me all the tips you have.

Ok i should explain this a little better.. this will be a single herb in a perspex box indoors on a windowsill. i plan to have it fully sealed except two mesh sections, one at the near the base and one on the top where the lid will be… so would there be a mesh for this kind of arrangement that would stop anything invading the herb

My Dad found a frog in a flower arrangement, is it poisonous?

Filed under :Herb Garden

My dad works for a moving company and the company delivered a flower arrangement. Out of the flower arrangement came a tiny frog. He is yellowish brown and has some brown dots on his back. My dad said he grew up with those types of frogs, but I just wanted to make sure he is not poisonous. Also, what are these frog’s lifespan? I am keeping him in an herb garden box full of mainly dirt. Do I need to feed him, or will he feed on dirt? What do I need to feed him? How do we supply water? Any other important information on this type of frog. Most of the time he digs under the dirt and keeps his head above the dirt.

Thanks so much, I know nothing about frogs
Wait so is it poisonous? ( to the first answer)
btw the colors are very dull and earthy not neon colors


Are ladybugs beneficial for just an average herb/vegetable garden? If I release a bunch outdoors will stay?

Filed under :Herb Garden

Just wondering if it will be beneficial to release a bunch of ladybugs in my outdoor garden. Got the idea after saw some horn worms on tomato plants and read lady bugs are their predator.

But will the lady bugs stay in the garden or just fly away?


First time Bearded Dragon owner seeking advice…..?

Filed under :Herb Garden

I just got a bearded dragon yesterday, he turned 1 in the spring. The previous owner was freaked out by the crickets and the worms so she only fed him the dragon food. He eats the bugs like he’s starving at every feeding and I worry about over feeding or impacting him. I know that it will take him some time to become acclimated to his new home; but I am worried about over feeding. He has eaten almost 2 dozen crickets in less than 12 hours and about 6 meal worms. Poor thing is skinny in comparison with the pics I’ve seen on the net of other year old dragons. Am I feeding him too much and are herbs from my herb garden, basil, thyme, sage, chives acceptable for leafy greens for him? i am also feeding him the dragon food, though he doesn’t seem to have an interest in it at all. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!! I really want him to be a healthy happy dragon!!
