These are my Chia herbs. They are supposed to thrive at 65 degrees with direct sunlight. I don't cannot provide them with a 65-degree climate that has direct sunlight. I have a sunroom that's approximately 102 degrees with plenty of sunshine or other rooms that about 90 degrees with plenty of shade.
I think the end is nigh for my Chia herbs...
Chives are supposed to take a noticeably longer period of time to develop compared to the other Chia seeds, but I fear we will only have two Chia Chives. All the seeds seem to be on the surface now, where they won't grow. I had followed the instructions (sort of) to plant them below the surface of the Chia® Growing Sponge... When did they leak out to the surface without me noticing?
Herbs continue to grow... (I swear these are different pictures than on Chia Watch 3. At least, there's a real difference when you're the one watering them twice a day and wondering if they're ready to come out of their sandwich bags.)
Dill (foreground) and Sweet Basil (end) are growning well. Their sandwich bags can be removed for a few hours. Parsley is still too small. Chives grow below the surface, so I can't tell how they're doing. I only know that I don't see them. And their sponge hasn't taken up much water.
We thought it would be a good idea to plant something with Scrappy. Now we have a Chia Herb Garden. They make it hard to go wrong. Water the sponges (yeah, sponges), sprinkle the seeds, cover with a sandwich bag, wait.
