If I'm growing these indoors, on my windowsill, what size pots should I get for each seed type? I plan on starting with Oregano, Chives and Parsley.

I started Oregano and Parsley in 2 inch and some in 4 inch pots. I put approximately 10 seeds per pot and then weeded the ones out that didn't get a strong start. I believe the Chives could be in an oblong pot at least 6 inches deep. In the 4 inch pots I only let about 3 to 4 seeds stay in because they bulk out as they grow. If needed, you can transplant later but don't start seeds in anything bigger than a 4 inch. I hope this helps and I wish you all success in your herb gardening. :-)

I recommend you pickup one of the great books out there on Herb gardens or Urban Self Sufficiency. Starter pots/Beds and and transfer to 4" pots once they are 2" high. There are a lot of other ways to do it, just remember to provide adequate watering and drainage plus indirect sunlight while sprouting the seeds. Pay attention to them daily to have a high suitability rate. Not all seed will germinate and not all plants will survive, THIS IS NORMAL. Older seeds tend to germinate less. Seeds poorly stored also germinate less. Harvest herbs before they flower, unless you are going to harvest the seeds. Have fun!

I am not sure how big your windowsill is, but a trauf with a 8 inch deep or deeper shoould work. good luck.

It truly depends on how much you expect to plant... I have one tall pot about the size of a bathroom trashcan that has two types of basil,chives, oregano, and single leaf parsley. All three of the plants you wish to plant are small and enjoy hanging over the side of a pot so you could split it into 3 sections and still have space to plant more in the center. They take up about a fists worth of space if you need that as a true judge.

I've used the flower pouches for many years. Never tried the seeds, mainly because seeds are so unpredictable. Some so well, some never sprout. I use small plants to start my plant bag. By small I mean get the smallest cup on the roots as possible. Begonias do very well in the bags. They are my favorite actually. Petunias do well but tend to get "leggy" and not so showy. Just water, and feed, the Begonias and they will out do themselves. Best wishes.

I would send this question to The Sprout House. They have a question and answer page and are extremely helpful. I only use these seeds to grow sprouts in my kitchen in jars. You can buy broccoli seeds much cheaper than this at any garden store. I wouldn't use them in a garden. If for no other reason than cost.

I really don't know about the 'mixes', but I believe there are options for buying a specific seed if that's what you wish. You could try contacting Sprout House directly. All I know is that I've never had a failure with their materials. The seeds produced in abundance. I love it, and want to get some specific seeds to start early for planting.

I was in the same boat you were. And could only find the Vining kind of seeds at the store. I was driving by a house one day that had the one I was looking for, and stopped. Rang the doorbell with no answer. So I snipped off a seed pod.....just planted them a month ago and they are growing like Crazy! So excited! !

Go to agardenpatch.com they should have a chart to tell you what and how much you can plant if you want to check before you buy

o, please ignore previous answer! I was answering about another packet of seeds I bought. most of these seeds should grow in warmer climates, you would just start planting earlier than you would in a more moderate to cold climate.

Personally I have mine in a large pot, about an inch deep, I planted the whole package in the large pot, I kept them outside all summer, then when it turned cold, I moved them inside, they set in from of my sliding glass door on the floor, I water them once a week, just checking the soil, I don't keep them too wet, mine are beautiful, and they continue to grow. I hope this was some help?

You're very welcome. If you want, you could click on my reviews, both at Sprout House Certified seeds and at the Stackable Sprout Garden by Handy Pantry, as being 'Helpful'. Hope your sprouting doubles!!

Well, this is my first time with a light(2'x4 bulb) and I'm only using it for seedlings. I would assume you could get some results with lettuce. I'd certainly try . I grow both Tuscan and curly leaf(Vates) kale in the garden and they're good size plants. You'd need big pots and a second light I think

Hi, Jessica! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I purchased these succulents (and more from Jimz) for an annual garden market fundraiser. We planted groups of 3 succulents in 4 inch terra cotta pots and top-dressed the soil with decorative pebbles from Walmart. If you are using the plants individually, you could use a 2 inch pot. You'll need a cactus/palm/succulent soil mixture for transplanting, regular potting soil is too dense. Good luck and Happy Wedding! Gail

Good Morning. I live in New York. I have been growing lemon, limes, figs, etc. for years. I keep them in a large pot. The pots are one foot by one foot. This helps control their size. I only leave them out doors when temperatures are above 55. You have to make sure they have really good drainage and lots of bright light. I also feed them a citrus food. When they are in the house I use grow lights. I have been fortunate with an abundance of fruit. Good luck!

Well, They should grow in indoor plants. Do not use micRacle grow unless they look puny!

I have one (its about 3 months old now) and I live just South of Seattle. Currently, it is in my windowsill and doing just fine and I have heard that you can plant them outside as well as they are very hardy! So, a definite yes to indoor growing and a tentative yes if you want to put it outside. :)

I'd say the quality of mine was really good, maybe 2 bigger plants but not too big . I can fit about eight 6 "pots with small coleus plants because they don't bush too much but not a lot. If you have the space, I'd recommend a bit of a bigger size. After the first few weeks, you'll want a bigger one probably lol!
