Herb Lessons

Ever since the CC started growing a window-sill herb garden, he's been buffeted with advice.

Everyone knows that house plants die from overwatering. A little judicious neglect is better than "loving" them too much. (a moral that owners of very fat pets should learn!)

What they don't tell you that oregano needs a lot more water than what is claimed. The CC has managed to make it wilt twice (it has recovered and flourished both times so far.)

Experience v. Theory. It's not even a fair battle.
