I'm not sure why but the soil is becoming mouldy in the herb gardens and our pot of bulbs. This has never happened before even though we have grown pots here previous seasons. We have tried opening the window more to dry the air out. Any feedback would be appreciated
Sorry it has been so long since I have posted.
We decided to grow heaps of basil in the new little herb gardens as it grows so well on the window ledge. The only herb that remained from the previous little her garden is the lemongrass. The rest have been planted in the garden outside under a trident maple tree which is deciduous. 
We have had some very hot weather lately and the little herb garden looks pretty sad. I will be looking for some new plants that I can refresh the herb garden with. I will definitely grow more basil as I love it.
As the thyme has not been growing wonderfully in the little herb garden we have potted up large thyme plant that can easily be moved outdoors. The above picture is a close up. Last night I gave it a trim as I made lasagna and needed some for the bolognese sauce. The recipe I used was from Stephanie Alexander Cook’s companion. It turned out really well. We are eating it again tonight as I made so much.
I have included a link for a Stephanie Alexander lasagna recipe too.

The little herb gardens get watered in the bath, usually once a week. They are so big that I have to sit them across the top of the bath as they would not fit side by side. Below is a close up of the basil looking fresh and vibrant covered in water.
