You've had so many successes so don't worry too much about the odd failure. Rosemary is an easy grower and actually thrives on neglect. Loves lots of sun and hardly any water and a fertiliser boost only a few times a year. ANd yes bigger pots will allow your plants to develop stronger roots and bigger harvests. Good luck! x Indira (www.saucyonion.blogspot.com)dearindirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12219428356342681950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085429884053920414.post-70775002324482930092012-07-23T21:46:45.337+10:002012-07-23T21:46:45.337+10:00Nice work - I'm inspired!

My pots are hit and miss, but with so much sunshine, I'm sure you'll do a lot better than I have.

The basil died and the empty pot sat on my balcony for a further two years looking very depressed. Then my mother bought me some self saucing pots and I had pot of basil and thyme in summer which was going gangbusters. As soon as autumn hit, my 1 metre high basil died and I have been in mourning ever since.Laura Jeffresonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218744241386858163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085429884053920414.post-69889356542541245572012-07-20T21:49:30.307+10:002012-07-20T21:49:30.307+10:00Excellent Miss Piggy, when I read the title of you...Excellent Miss Piggy, when I read the title of your blog post I thought of the Saucy Onion immediately...I should have known that would be your bible!

Don't despair with your rosemary - as much info as you can find about growing plants, in the end it comes down to trial and error to find the perfect spot, amount of watering etc. for your conditions. There are lots of varieties of rosemary too, perhaps a different variety will do better there? <br /><br />We're also growing some herbs and veggies on our balcony, but it's not north facing and we only started in May, so it's not ideal timing. Things are growing, but very slowly. A few of the things I stubbornly planted haven't germinated, e.g. jalapeño chilli, which was really a big gamble since it really needs warm conditions to germinate especially. My rosemary plant is a Gallipoli variety that was available around Anzac Day - it's really doing well and it's sitting in shade for most of the day, which defies what all the literature says to do! Doing the best right now are probably the dwarf snow peas. We tried to buy heirloom seeds where we could, and got a lot from the Diggers Club (diggers.com.au) site.<br /><br />I've got the Edible Balcony book too, Indira's got a lovely way of writing and inspiring. There's another good book out there by the Little Veggie Patch Co. Really looking forward to future posts to see how everything progresses.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915350637261270297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085429884053920414.post-55874627710829707332012-07-20T21:09:23.849+10:002012-07-20T21:09:23.849+10:00Wow that's amazing, I love it!
