I have one little chive seed that germinated so far. I put a lot in to get a full pod, we shall see.

Good luck! That has worked for me.
Judging from the pictures of your Farm chives, it has definitely worked for you, too.  |

Still waiting on the left side to do something but then again cilantro can take its sweet time. I am also still waiting on a delivery of the new seeds.

This morning I planted the Confetti Cilantro and Garlic Chives in the Left side. On the Right I planted the Greek Oregano. All are Burpee seeds. I have more coming from a different vendor.

I need to go and look into each on the left. I may have to replant several seeds after starting in paper towels. The chives and parsley have germinated.

This morning I will be placing new Cilantro and Parsley seeds in paper towels to sprout. What I have now I think are too low in the sponge and no good any longer. So once I get a root on each seed in paper towels I will then place in a sponge.
I will post a picture of them later.

All my Cilantro seeds are softening nicely in their baggies. Soon I hope to see some teeny roots forming.
As for the right side, here are my two Basil and the Oregano. I did top the larger basil already.

The cilantro seeds in ziplocs are just now starting to root. Hopefully in the next couple of days I will place into sponges.

Off to doctors but when I return I am re-doing the left side. I will clean out the basin and plant new items. I will move the Chives I have to the right side as I have room there.
I will also be plan ting new basil on the right side. I gave my friend what I had growing. She is making dinner for her family and said she would love to use Fresh Basil. I do not mind as I have plenty in the freezer and love growing new as it grows fast.

SO I took the chives and placed them in the Right side of my Farm with Basil and Oregano. The left side I will get cleaned and sanitized. I will do the same with the right, right before surgery. I will plant all new herbs then so bu the time I can do things, they will be coming up (approx 2-3 weeks). Even then they do not need much tending to.

Sounds like a good and well thought out plan. And, I cannot think of a better distraction!  Any ideas for what herbs you'll plant? Will it be time for Thyme? I think I remember that you like to plant Thyme in the fall for holiday cooking? Or, do I mis-remember?  |
