A couple weeks ago before I headed to California I wrote about planting a herb garden with my Urban Farmer. Today I wanted to give you an update on the garden thus far.
I hope that if you have already planted your garden and that you have been keeping the plants moist.
The Urban Farmer reccomends watering every three days based off the environmental factors in your "urban farm". It is ideal to cover the container with a plastic dome to keep the humidity and moisture in to induce germination -- but not a necessity.

Be sure to weed your garden. Because we use a natural homemade compost soil we have weeds.
But I heed this warning -- know what the herb looks like as a seedling before you start pulling weeds. Otherwise you may pull your whole CROP!
A simple Google search will give you the images of your seedlings. See our results below:
Thyme Seedlings.
Basil Seedlings.
Cilantro Seedlings.
Continue for the next 6 to 8 weeks till they are ready to transplant. In Northern Virginia, you can not plant before May 10 which is considered the last day of a possible frost. Find your growing zone here!
This year, like the rest of the country we have had an extremely mild winter so the Urban Farmer hopes to plant the last week of April (pre-cruise). But we will also keep some inside in pots.
The Urban Farmer will keep you posted along the way!
