My rosemary died this rainy season. I had it in a long planter with some other herbs and the rain seems to have killed them all. The mint looks like it might come back but nothing else is alive. I will have to put some in a pot by itself and move it out of the rain in the summer I guess. The rain here kills mint and basil, amazing to me that anything would kill mint. In Calif. I used to plant it on the edge of ponds with the roots in the water and under dripping faucets (back when we just let that happen) and it thrived. Here, it starts to turn brown after a couple of heavy rains and is gone by the end of the season. This year I had it and the rosemary in this planter that was against an east wall and most of the rain and storms come from the east. It got a lot less rain there but it wasn't good enough.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
