Checking In on the Microgarden Five Days Later

It's been five days since I set up the two microgardens to jump, start a couple of herbs for growing in containers, so I figured it'd be good to check in this morning and see if any have sprouted.

So on the first unit, both the dill and the basil are coming in strong. All eight pods between the two of them have sprouted, and so far appear healthy and normal.

The second unit is more of a mixed bag. While the arugula is taking hold as I expected with no issues, neither the cilantro nor the oregano has sprouted yet.

I'm not as concerned about the cilantro as historically that sometimes has taken me up to 2 weeks in a microgarden, but the oregano is a little more concerning. We'll see if it takes hold in the next 5 to 10 days.

I’d love to hear if any of you have had similar luck (or lack thereof) with stubborn oregano in your own microgardens. Drop me a line, you can reach me via a contact form here.
