| On the left: Watex Plant Garden Desktop Kitchen Farm |
My wonderful daughters bought me the Watex Plant Garden Desktop Kitchen Farm for my birthday present. They know how many times I've burnt dinner, running out to the garden to cut herbs for a meal, haha. But seriously, I have made some "farmer brown" meals, (to quote neighbor Bill), by going to the garden in the middle of preparing dinner. Often I set out to simply pick an herb to add to the meal.
Now, if all goes well, I will have herbs right on my kitchen counter.
The plastic structure has eight slots for the eight planters. There is a hole at the top to pour water into, and my daughters had me pour water in, to see how fast it went through. That was a good idea, because I saw that the water stopped half way up the side of the planter, and then the rest of the water goes through to a tray at the bottom.
My daughters also sent seeds, but after the experiment, I see that the apparatus would not allow water to make it to the top of the planters where the seeds are starting. So I am starting the seeds in the planters, in a tub, and when they have roots, I'll move to the Desktop Kitchen.
I'm not sure how well this will work, but it's tidy, compact and it might keep me from burning dinner.

I emailed Watex customer service to ask for instructions, because
this is all that came with the package.
