Reseeding (again)

Let me start off with Happy Fourth of July!

  For some reason I have been having a horrible time with the herbs I've been trying to grow from seeds this year. I don't understand it at all. I planted Lavender, Eucalyptus, Catnip, Thyme, Feverfew, Hyssop, and Pennyroyal; and all I have to show for it is a spindly thyme sprout and three small Pennyroyal plants. (which, by the way, smell fantastic.)

  All but the Hyssop and Catnip (I have been having a terrible time with catnip) seeds came up, and all but the two mentioned died shorty after. I think I over watered the Feverfew. I don't know what happened to the Lavender. It was looking nice, growing strong and suddenly started dying. One by one each of the four seedling turned brown and died. The Eucalyptus developed tiny purple-brown spots and promptly died.

  Mom's trying with the catnip this time. I've tried planting Feverfew, Lavender, and Eucalyptus again, but if they don't work out I'll probably wait until fall to try again. It's rather hot to be planting anything. Although, it's been in the nineties for highs and has been dropping into the seventies for lows recently which feels wonderful after all those  hundred and higher days we were having.
