Herbs (re-planting) not doing so well...
We went to a local Whole Foods store and bought some fresh parsley and thyme. They looked great while at the store, so when we got home, we re-planted them into their own separate bed. They now look like they're dying- the leaves are brown and shriveled.
They get direct sunlight daily, and it's been raining here in the mornings so they've been getting water.
Is there anything I can do to "revive" them?
Re: Herbs (re-planting) not doing so well...
They are planted in soil (dirt we purchased from a local nursery) and re-potted into their own bed (in a potter)...
Do you think I need some Osmocote?
well, thyme doesn't like to be wet so that may be the issue there. not sure about the parsley.
I do not think that fertilizing them will solve the problem, no.
Okay, dirt? Do you mean bagged potting media? or actual dirt? And what is a potter? Is that some type of container?
The reason I ask is because bagged potting mix is usually soil-less, sterile and pathogen free; but dirt/soil/earth can contain a host of pathogens before you plant anything in it. Bagged potting media can, and often does, become infected vis outside sources, but in that case it will mean a longer lead time before symptoms occur.
One of the most important things is soil moisture, so that was my too wet/ too dry question.
Herbs like lean, dry, sandy soils. For other plants, that would be poor soil. No need to fertilize.
