To be considered full sun, an area needs to get at least six hours of sunlight per day. If you live in an area where summer temperatures frequently rise above 90 °F (32 °C), choose an area that gets sun in the morning but not in the afternoon. You can also choose an area that gets filtered light, like under a large tree. How much space you need for your herb garden will depend on which herbs you're growing. You'll need a 1 ft (0.30 m) to 4 ft (1.2 m) diameter per plant, depending on the type.  Rosemary, sage, mint, oregano, and marjoram all need a 3 ft (0.91 m) to 4 ft (1.2 m) diameter per plant. Basil, thyme, tarragon, and savory all need a 2 ft (0.61 m) diameter per plant. Cilantro, chives, dill, and parsley only need a 1 ft (0.30 m) diameter per plant. Herb roots won't grow too far, but creating a barrier around your herb garden prevents other plant life – like grass – from invading. Once you've determined how much space you need for your garden, install garden barriers around the perimeter. You can use actual garden barrier or planks of wood. They should extend about 2 in (5.1 cm) above the ground. Use a large garden fork to dig about 12 in (30 cm) into the soil where you're planting your herbs. As you dig down, turn the fork slightly to loosen the soil. Loose soil allows the herbs' roots to grow and for water to get to the roots. and add compost if needed. Once you've loosened the soil, check the pH level using a soil test kit, available at most hardware stores. The best pH level for an herb garden is between 6 and 7. If you need to raise or lower the pH of your soil, use compost that will allow you to do that. Add about 3 in (7.6 cm) of compost to the top of the soil. Then gently mix the compost into the soil. If you need to raise the soil pH, look for compost with oyster shell lime in it. To lower the pH, look for compost with elemental sulfur. Depending on where you live, the exact timing for planting your herb garden will vary. You should generally plant your herbs after the last spring frost.

Notice if the stem is long or short. Then, look at how far up the stem the branches begin, as well as how the branches are arranged. Notice if the plant branches only once or if it branches multiple times. Finally, record the answers to the following questions in your notebook:  Is the stem visible? What is the shape and color of the stem? How do the branches attach to the trunk or stem? Are the branches arranged opposite each other or alternately on the stem? Look at the size and shape of the flower, as well as how many petals it has. Then, observe the color of the petals and any gradation you see. Notice if the flower has a disc in the center or not. Finally, note any special characteristics of the flower that you think will help you identify it. Answer the following questions in your notebook:  What color and shape is the flower? How many petals does the flower have? Does the flower have male and female sex organs in each flower? Does the flower have sepals, which are a green leaf-like part that is visible beneath the flower? First, look at how many leaves are on each stem. Then, notice how the leaves are positioned on the stem. Finally, observe the shape and color of the leaves. If you can, draw or trace the shape of the leaf in your notes. Record the answers to the following questions:  How many leaves are on each stem? Are the leaves opposite each other, alternating, or in a circular pattern? What shape and size is the leaf? Does the leaf have hairs? What color is the leaf on the front and back? What is the shape of the leaf’s edge? Is it smooth, or does it have small “teeth” or big jagged “teeth”? How do the leaves attach to the stem? Photos help you identify your houseplant because you can compare them to photos of other plants, upload them onto an app, or ask an expert. Use a digital camera or your phone to take a series of photos. Photograph the entire plant, then take close-up photos of the flowers, leaves, and stem.  Make sure the photos are well-lit and show the plant’s features clearly. Blurry photos will be hard to use for identification. If you’re going to show the photos to an expert, take at least 4-5 photos. This will help them differentiate between similar plants.

Toxicity is often a sign of insecurity. By giving the co-worker credit or highlighting something that they’ve done, you may give them some semblance of positivity in their life, which could help with the toxicity. You may also find a friend you didn’t think you could have. For example, tell your boss all that your co-worker has done if you’ve worked together on a project. Or nominate them for employee of the month. You never know what this act of kindness could do for someone. Chances are, you’re not the reason for the behavior. However, you may be the person on which they are taking out their frustrations. But that doesn’t mean you should allow it.  Hold the person accountable for their behavior and don’t justify it. Attempt to talk to them about it. You could ask them why they behave the way they do towards you. Your confrontation may be enough to make them stop.   Keep in mind that being direct and respectful is a much better option than letting the behavior slide. Letting it slide may lead to more problems over time. Dealing with a toxic co-worker can affect more areas of your life than just work. It can make you act differently at home and in other aspects of your life. Find people who could potentially lift you up, especially if it is at work. Along with surrounding yourself with people who are positive, give yourself some positive self-talk, as well. Remind yourself that you are a good person who has many things to contribute, despite how this person may make you feel. There are always two sides to every situation. Try to help the person see the positive rather than the negative. Tell the person the reasons why the situation isn’t as bad as they think it is. Doing so could put a spin on their perspective, making life easier for both of you. For instance, if the person says, “I hate these hours. I can’t ever do what I want.” You could say, “I actually like the hours. It allows me to have more flexibility with my schedule outside of work.” Telling them a positive to their negatives may also make them stop flooding you with the toxic comments.
