I think I went wrong with not re-fertilizing my herbs this summer...they all became pale-green. Does basil need as much water as mint? I have a feeling it likes less hot sun too. (Chicago gardener here--our summers can be brutally hot!)

[@amykellygardening]

Pale leaves can be lack of sun if all the leaves are pale, or too much sun if only the ones closest to the light are faded. If the light levels are okay then probably fertilizer is the issue- nitrogen rich liquid fertiliser is ideal (potassium for flowers/fruit, nitrogen for leaves, phosphorus for roots), or use slow release pellets. And yes, basil loves water, but still needs oxygen around the roots so make sure excess water can drain away so it's not sitting in a dish of water all the time 😊👍

I like growing mint in a small section of my garden, but how can I limit it to that section only?

[@amykellygardening]

It takes a lot of work to keep mint contained! Growing in pots is best, so if at all possible just do that! If you really want to grow it in the ground, make a raised bed where the sides of the raised bed go down into the soil below ground level. Mint roots can grow as deep as 3 feet (90cm) so you need a solid barrier taller/deeper than that to make sure it doesn't escape. 👍
