Use and recipes
Under 30 minute recipe
Stage 1Germination in nursery
Two little round leaves should pop up and grow above the plant pod.
Stage 2 Initial growth
Your plant should have two sets of leaves by now and is big enough to absorb nutrients.
Move into garden
Once your plant has grown its second set of leaves, carefully move it from your Nursery into an empty place in your Garden.
Thin out
In order to give your plant enough space, carefully pinch off the plants at their base. Leave only one plant.
Stage 3 Mid growth
Your plant is now halfway through its life! It should look bigger and have several sets of leaves. You may be able to pick a few leaves off here and there as long as you leave 75% of the plant still growing.
Stage 4 Flower
Stage 5 Fruit
Stage 6Harvest
Your plant should be much larger with full sets of leaves around its crown. You can continue to pull off leaves here and there, or you can cut it from the base and harvest the whole thing!
Harvest plant
This plant can only be harvested once, but you can also pick leaves off one by one. To harvest, simply cut at the base of the plant.
Stage 7 Remove plant
If you start seeing any flowers, your plant is past harvest and may taste a bit bitter. It is also past harvest if there is distance between the leaf sets.
