Last year was the first time I planted a few tomato plants, some basil and a few daisy plants. Of course they all died over the winter and am now wondering what to do. First problem, they are all in huge non-movable troughs on my balcony and digging them out would be difficult without making a mess, second problem is there seems to be little white balls of fungus around some of the troughs.
Lastly I'd like to ask... With the herbs and daisys would they not start to grow again naturally? Or do I need to plant new ones from scratch?
