Kitchen Herbs

Yesterday I bought three colored thin buckets with seed and soil in each bucket , placed in a plastic bag. In each bucket a different kind of herb will grow inside of it.

Seeds of Parsley is inside of the blue bucket on the left.
Seeds of Oregano is inside of the yellow bucket in the middle.
Seeds of Chives is inside of the pink bucket in the right.

I filled the buckets with 90% of the delivered soil and moistened the buckets with water. I placed the seeds inside and covered it up with the rest of the soil, pressing the soil down gently. The germination time is 10-20 days at room temperature. I will update this post when there is something to see.

Update on February 16th: It has been exacly 10 days since I bought these three buckets and since today there is new growth to see in all three buckets.
Its hardly to see but those tiny little dots are the growing herbs.

Update on February 20th: It has been 2 weeks now since I planted the seeds. Parsley in the blue bucket on the left is growing like weed now.
Oregano in the yellow bucket in the middle stays quiet. If you look carefully only two little plants are visible.
Chives in the pink bucket in the right is coming out well. It smells like onions already... and I didnt think that true when I bought these buckets cause I dont like the smell of onions in my kitchen/living room.



Update on March 20th: It has been a month since my last update and as you can see, the herbs has growns.
Parsley in the blue bucket on the left turned into a little herb bush.
Oregano in the yellow bucket in the middle is still behind but I have four little plants growing inside the yellow bucket at the moment.
Chives in the pink bucket in the right is growing great and fortunatelly the smell  of onions is less overwhelming. My care routine so far isgie the plants water everyweek and I have placed the buckets on a location where they catch 8 hours of sunlight
