Just planted some herbs :)

:wave: As the weather is gorgeous today, I've planted some herb seeds.
Usually I buy seedlings & pot them, but I decided to attempt growing some from scratch this year.

I've planted basil, coriander, thyme, flat leaf parsley & mint.

I also bought camomile & lavender plants, so they have gone straight into my terracotta pots. My mint from last year has survived the winter :shock: & is growing again too :D

Does anyone else have experience of growing bunny herbs from scratch? Just wondering what my chances of success are...:lol:
 
I bought some seeds online for a rabbit mix and planted them last friday in takeaway tubs :lol: I've seen the first shoots coming through today, yay! That's about as far as I've gotten so far...

Good luck with your herbs :wave:

:lol::lol: Yeah, the ones from shell warrior? It's so exciting, I've been checking them every day :oops:
 
You're not hijacking the thread :lol: Feel free to ask away - when it comes to growing things I'm as clueless as they come :roll:

All I know is that I got some seedling trays, put compost in them, added a few seeds, covered the seeds with a bit more compost & watered them. Now keeping fingers crossed.

Does anyone know when I should start seeing some signs of life?? I'm so impatient!!!!

yes it was shell warrior. :)

i'm putting mine in tubs outside. i reckon you should see shoots in about 10 day or so. i suppose some will grow faster and thicker than others.
with herbs i'm told corriander is a slow grower and once picked doesn't come back too well.
basil and mint are spreaders! :D
 
ive never tried it, but the herbs i bought already growing in supermarkets never seem to live long :oops:

weve spotted some apple trees in morrisons at 5 quid a tree ill be going to get some end of this month.. want some rose bushes too.. now i have a garden whoooooop :lol:

I hope your calling ME Shell warrior because I like it, makes me feel like Xena :lol:
 
We have a whole veg garden to play with this year!

Had great success growing rocket, spinach and chard last summer and the bunnies loved it, so we have created a raised bed to grow even more stuff.

I already have a row of salad seedlings coming through.

I love having herbs in the garden, but I'm really bad at actually using them :oops:. Rosemary, thyme and bay are what I use the most along with coriander in curries.
 
That sounds lovely. I've contemplated having a raised bed for growing veg myself, but thought I'd try out the herbs first to see if I have any success :lol:

I wonder which seeds will sprout first... Coriander? Mint? Basil? Parsley? Thyme? :)
 
Ive never even thought about growing herbs for Joey. I was quite shocked when he demolished one of my herb plants last year, cant remember which one it was, i walked outside and he was sat there with his paws on the plant pot nibbling away :lol:

Which ones do your bunnies prefer? I may take a trip to the garden centre tomorrow :D
 
Coriander, Flat leaf parsley, Mint & Basil are the favourites, but they love dill too - I just couldn't get any seeds at the time, so I got some thyme seeds instead.

I've also potted some camomile plants - they haven't had fresh camomile before but they like it dried :)
 
Brilliant thank you!! My house is going to end up looking like an indoor garden, im already growing sunflowers and some other plants :lol:
