How often do you water Mediterranean herbs?
Potted herbs will require more consistent watering than those in the garden. A good dousing once a week is probably sufficient; however, keep an eye on the pot and use your finger to check for dryness. Mediterranean herbs can handle a lot of water, but don't like to get their feet wet, so well draining soil is crucial.
