Use and recipes

Try some of these recipes with your freshly harvested produce.

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.

 

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.
