Lower Midwest here. I am an apartment dwelling container and windowsill gardener. I started with 2 pots in a parking spot. I know have a south facing porch and a good western facing windowsill. We’ve had a lot of rain here. Today, thought was glorious and so nice to sit surrounded by free. For my morning tea. One of my lavender plants is blooming and I am able to pick blooms.
The pot sits under the roof overhang and isn’t getting the rainwater. The lavender loves this, but not the mint that’s in the same pot. It got too dry and actually died. That’s right, I actually killed mint. I also picked some full bloom flowers For my desk and cut the stems too short. Thank goodness for sherry glasses!
