How to sow herbs
Tear the egg carton and put the parts in each other.
Fill all the holes with potting soil.
Moisten the soil with the watering can.
Open the herb seed bags one by one.
Sprinkle basil in 2 holes.
Sprinkle parsley in two holes.
Sprinkle chives seeds in the middle holes.
This is how your box looks now.
Cover with a thin layer of soil.
Write the names on the sticks.
Push the sticks in the holes.
Place your box in a container with a thin layer of water so the cardboard gets damp, also moisten the top layer of the soil regularly
Place your box in a warm, light spot, but not in full on sunshine.
Now we and the pots have to wait for the seeds to germinate.
After just a few days... you see the first green!
- When tiny plants grow from the seeds (with at least 3 leaves), you may repot them
- But for now you have to check the soil is moist bur not wet!
- When little sprigs of green appear you should remove them from direct sunlight
Wishing you a lot of gardening fun!
