Don't know why but it does. hope this helps. WRT the condition of your rosemary I suggest you ensure the basil & rosemary are kept separated as basil will kill the rosemary.

I've been trying to grow a herb garden at my house in Dubai since I moved here last year. The first time, the landscaper got me the seeds for rosemary, basil, coriander, mint, parsely and rocket. The rosemary is doing GREAT, the mint is also doing really well and I had to pull out most of the basil because it was really wild! The other herbs did well for a couple fo months then stopped growing leaves, they turned into really long weeds without leaves but with tiny flowers. I had to pull them all out and decided to try again. This time, I got the seeds myself from SATWA but unfortunately, nothing came out!!! I want to give it another try, the weather seems nice and cool now (maybe too cold, not sure). Where did you find the sweet basil though, I've looked everywhere!! Thanks Hi,

I live in Abu Dhabi with a decent sized garden, and have been having a pretty tough time growing plants. Everything seems to get eaten by pests, or infected by disease... or wilted by the heat. To make it worse, I'm trying to go at it organic... I've been companion planting but my seed to plant success ratio is very low. Any and all tips or advice would be welcome. j. Hi,

The pot that you are growing your rosmary in is too shallow. Rosmary have long roots and need very deep pots. I should be moving to Dubai in January 09 and was wondering if Orchids grow outside in Dubai: any idea? the white spot on your basil look like over watering: I get them here in the UK when the season starts to turn amd it rains more.
