Ikea Planting Week 1

Basil & Chives from Ikea

In my attempt to actually try and grow something, I got these from Ikea, sweet basil and chives. From looking at the typical Ikea instructions, growing these look simple. Just pour water, add seeds, wait for 10-12 weeks and are ready to eat. So I’ll see how this goes and will keep track of things weekly. Wish my luck!

    g’luck. I bought Italian basil from TJ and they all died within 3 months. Got infested by mites of some type.

    Nifty! I saw these, but was skeptical. I hope that they work out for you. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

    I live close to the Ikea in Red Hook, so Red Hook? Summer time will be awesome when the Red Hook Ball Field vendors are back!
