You know how much I love cooking and cooking with fresh herbs. But fresh herbs aren’t always available so I make sure I keep a stock of dry, bottled herbs in the kitchen.
I have resigned to using dry herbs most of the time because I don’t think herbs like me very much. Two years ago, I tried to start an herb garden but the plants died after a week. I knew right then that I didn’t have green thumbs.
I had this DOLE Garden Kit for sometime now which I didn’t dare touch. For some reason, I was thinking it will just go to waste because of my black thumbs.
Last Friday, when I wasn’t feeling well I decided to give this garden kit a go. I figured being busy will keep my mind of what I was feeling.
What’s in the Kit?
- 12 Coir Pots with Quick Soil Mix Pellets (QSM)
- 2 trays
- 6 Individual Seed Packets
- Row Markers
The seeds are: Basil, Arugula, Mint, Lemon Balm, Bunching Onions and Pepper
There should be one Quick Soil Mix (QSM) Pellet per Coir Pot. To start, you should put these in a waterproof container like a basin or a tray. Then add around ¼ cup of water to each pot. Once the water is absorbed, add another ¼ cup of water.
