Best way to grow basil in a pot?

Help! I have always had a herb garden (planted in the earth). This year we have just moved to a home with a very tiny yard (we’re on the golf course and they seem to frown on us planting on the greens… lol). I have filled the flower beds around the house too full of blooming things to have any room for herbs. Sooo, I planted loads of terracotta pots and placed them on the back terrace. All the herbs are doing great except for the Basil. It’s dying!! Any suggestions as to how I can help it along? It gets full sun, isn’t over or under watered, and is planted in miracle grow potting soil. I’ve always had basil flourish- this is vexing! Thanks in advance for the help.

Wild herbs in New hampshire?

I live in new hampshire, and I have a pretty steep area of forest in my neighborhood, where would I find any kind of herb around here? I have to grow specifics to cook with (obviously) but I was curious to see if there was anything easily identifiable around here.

Can seeds be brought into the UK?

Can a few packets of seeds (herb, vegetable or flower) be brought into the UK in luggage from overseas? These would be seeds of plants which are not indigenous, but commonly grown in another country.
Hi,Thanks. I just looked on a website, and it looks like a few packets are okay, pasted below.Could anyone confirm this please?

“plant products and/or produce may be imported from the USA without a Phytosanitary Certificate by each traveller up to the limits set out below:

* 2kg of fruit and vegetables,
* cut flowers and any parts of plants together forming a single bouquet (maximum of 50 stems), and
* five retail packets of seeds (but not seeds of potatoes).

Further information can be obtained from:
Defra”
The above is for the US to UK, but is it the case for all countries? How about from Africa or Asia?

I need help identifying a flower?

It is pretty small. It grows on a stalk to about half a foot high with the leaves wrung around the stem and very wavy looking. It has long purple flowers at the top that acording to my friends at school say are edible. I’m not sure about that. It’s native to the south (I think. It grows everywhere) and I can tell by the smell that it’s an herb. Any ideas? pictures would help.

What do I do with my herb garden?

The plants in my herb garden are growing. They are now touching the top and sides of the little green house. What should I do at this point? Should I plant them in soil and keep watering and making sure they get plenty of sunlight? I’m not sure what to do now that they are outgrowing the green house. Also, when they are ready how should I dry them so I can cook with them? I’m just really not sure how this process works. Any advice or links to websites will be very much appreciated!
I can’t plant them outside because I am moving soon so is it okay to leave them in a pot? And can I put more than one herb in a pot?
