Hi,
I have attempted to grow herbs here in godforsaken florida. I bought some Parsley, and 3 mature basil plants. It appears as if snails like basil, and kill it. I had it for less than a month, and I had to cut it down and freeze the measly amount I had. Not even enough to make pesto. My parsley was a full grown plant, but I cut is as I should have, but the problem was when the new shoots would grow, before I could cut them down, or before they were all bunchy again, they would turn brown & die. My rosemary is still doing wonderful. My question is this, has anyone attempted to grow herbs indoors in Florida. We keep the AC @ 80 degrees when we go to work, and I have a window that faces West, but there is light enough to grow something edible????? Anyhow, I want to grow basil and maybe some sage, and oregano. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
