Help, my plants are dying!!!

[cleatuslives]

First it was the rosemary, now it is the chamomile, sage, and lavender. They are all dying, starting from the base of the stem and slowly working its way up to the newest leaves, the plant turns brown and wilted and eventually dies. The plants are at different places in the garden, some are in containers and others are not. Does anyone know what this could be?

How much water are you giving them? From the stem up sounds like it could be too much water.

Didn't Atlanta and environs receive something like 18 inches of rain last week and earlier this week?

Maybe your plants simply (and sadly... ) are suffering from root rot.

That does sound likely, herbs are notoriously susceptible to root rots from standing water, even a little...

Are the other plants safe ? is this the problem with only these three?
have you brought these plants together??

There are many internal plant problems which can be there and the eradication of these problems is difficult once you have planted them. So I would suggest you to change the place from where you buy
Also do the lab tests of your soil, there can be something wrong in that
