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 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 off all the leaves and harvest the whole thing!
Harvest plant
This plant can be harvested multiple times before it should be removed. To harvest, cut the outermost leaves at the base, making sure to keep at least 3-4 leaves.
Stage 7 Remove plant
This plant is ready to remove when you have gotten 5-10 harvests from it and its stalk is 4-5 inches long.
