So I'm into week six of the Chia herb garden experiment. The basil sprouted quickly and is looking like the most robust of the lot (I was thinking that I should thin the sucker, but the Chia instruction booklet says that the magical growing sponge allows the plants to thrive with little, if any, thinning). The parsley doesn't seem to be doing too bad, and the cilantro is kind of jaundiced-looking but it least it grew—unlike the chives. I'm not sure what I did wrong with that one—according to the instructions, to grow chives you have to slice open the growing sponge and plant the seeds inside, rather than just sprinkle the seeds on top—so maybe I overestimated my ability to pull off a more advanced technique.
