Always need 'em. Never have 'em.
It's tough to keep fresh herbs on hand. The store bought varieties go bad so quickly.
I would grow my own, but I don't have a yard for a reason. I can't keep plants alive.
Still, it's a pain and shame to run out to the market every time a recipe calls for fresh herbs.
So I was pleasantly surprised to see a simple, all-in-one basil kit at my local Ikea.
What a concept! The kit included:a clear pot
soil tablet
seed package
Basically, everything I would need to create my own mini kitchen sill basil garden.
The directions looked so easy that even I, a novice, felt confident in giving it a go.
All I had to do was add water to the soil tablet (which instantly expanded in size to fill the pot), sprinkle the seeds on top and wait 10-12 weeks for the basil to grow.
And grow it did.
Signs of growth started within days.
Now, two weeks later, the basil shoots are about 1-2 inches tall.
