I nearly killed the basil as I had left it in it’s tiny came-with-it pot for so long but now that it’s more situated, it seems happy. (I do not trust this as my last Thai basil plant died.) I recently gave the thyme a trim since it was looking a little like it had Donald Trump’s hair. Generally speaking though, I leave them be, alone by the sunny window.br /br /We’ve been having ants lately and I noticed a few milling the thyme.

Ack, I could hardly believe it. I have been hoping they’d spring up in one of my terrariums but I didn’t expect to find them in here.

        OMG! Those things are so hard to get rid of. I have a bleeding heart vine that keeps growing them after i’ve done 3 soil changes and sprayed the roots with fungicide and cleaned out the pot it was in. The plant was living inside my house because I have an indoor atrium that I keep alot of plants in. I finally chunked the plant out onto the back porch to die in the Texas sun. I don’t know what kind of mushrooms those are but they are very hard to get rid of and I think that some plants you buy are just innate carriers of the fungus.
