Day 60: What I’d Do Differently
60 days of growing herbs on my windowsill. Here’s what worked, what failed, and what I’d do differently next time.
What Worked
- Basil: Continuous harvest. Should have planted more.
- Chives: Easiest herb. Never died.
- Parsley: Slow start, but productive now.
- Mint: Planted in a separate pot. Took over that pot.
What Failed
- Cilantro: Died twice. Too warm in my kitchen.
- Dill: Leggy. Not enough light for it.
What I’d Do Differently
- More basil. It’s the most useful and easiest.
- Skip cilantro. Or grow it in a cooler spot.
- Add a grow light. For winter.
- Succession plant. Every 3 weeks.
What’s Next
The Mediterranean Kitchen Kit. I want oregano and thyme.
