We have BASIL!!! Five days after sowing the seeds on Monday, the seeds sprouted on Saturday. I can't believe it!
The house is fairly cool. We keep the thermostat at 67 to keep the cost down. Fortunately we have been lucky with mild temperatures this winter with a few bursts of blustery cold temps.
That being said, the greenhouse effect was not occurring with just the sunlight hitting it during the day and I don't believe the soil I purchased is the best at retaining water either.
In came a clamp light that I found to help heat the bottles up and create some humidity in there to boost the environment for promoting growth.
All-in-all, I was super excited to see the little guys growing!
Now I anxiously await the next two, cilantro and dill, to sprout on day 7. The parsley should break ground on day 21.
