Update on Indoor Herb Garden Results!

[gtdoss]

As you may remember, I planted 7 kinds of herbs in peat pots and put them in my new Ikea Socker glass greenhouse and set it on a small table in my kitchen by the window. Just wanted to let you know that five days after I planted them (Saturday) 6 of the 7 have begun to sprout! Of course, the real test is the test of time. Hopefully these very, very tiny herb plants will grow into full-grown plants at some point. The only one not sprouting yet is the cilantro, but that can take 7 to 10 days to do anything. So this is telling me that even people with black thumbs (like ME, ME, ME!) can at least grow something, LOL!

Hey, congrats, that is wonderful news.  My husband also has a black thumb.  He's good a many things but gardening is not one of them. 

Anyhow, we got a packet of green bean seeds and planted them a couple of weeks ago.  They're actually growing like a weed.  ( I hope it's not weeds we're seeing - lol ).  So we'll see what happens with that.

His sister sent us one of those indoor containers; I don't think it's Ikea but she sent it along with a link to a you tube video on how to easily grow sprouts.  I love sprouts, so now I'm on a sprout kick.  We'll give that a try as well.

There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a seed sprout that you planted. We grow a lot of herbs, but outside in the garden or in pots on the deck.  I have to check out that greenhouse thing.

So exciting -- Congratulations!  Would be awesome to see the greenhouse & its herbs thriving, wish they'll let us post images again.

Thank you so much, betlynjua! Really hope your green beans do well in the indoor container! We'll compare notes, LOL!

Yeah, bremer51, it's called the Ikea Socker greenhouse, which you can find on their site. It's really nice and easily fits 8 medium sized peat pots. So far I'm loving it!

Thank you, aflyingmonkey! Yeah, I'd love to be able to post a picture when you can actually easily see the sprouts, LOL!

Thanks. pkrahmer! Yeah, I can't wait to actually use them. I don't know if it will really enhance the flavor of the dishes using fresh herbs, but it doesn't hurt to find out!

That is great news!  I have always wanted to buy one but I hesitated so please keep us posted.  You will be the deciding factor if I get one 😁

[singletonb]

Yay. congratulations!  Hopefully it will continue to grow to maturity and you will be able to enjoy them.

Congratulations.  My grandmother could grow anything because she had a green thumb.  Me not so much.  I wish I could grow things like she did.  I know that it will be nice to have fresh herbs.
