Transplanting herbs

So today it's time to transplant more of my seedlings. This time it's the herbs. Once they start to get several true leaves on them, I go ahead and move them to the planters they'll be in outside. I go ahead and plant them all, as I know only some will make it through the process. If several of them end up growing large, I'll transplant them again to another set of these planters that I have, which means more herbs for me! ;)

With the basil I can also transplant it into some of my larger tomato planters once those are going, as the two plants love to be together.

Basil   Cilantro

My herbs have just loved these planters. They attach to the post on my patio and I can hang several of them all together. I started out with three, which I have used for chives and basil. This year I am moving the cilantro there as well. I also picked up one more set of three planters at Home Depot the other day. We had to dig to find the only set that was even close to being complete. Mine are black, but apparently they come in a terracotta color as well. I like the black, as it makes the soil nice and warm, which the plants seem to love.

The planters are made by Fiskars and you can check them out here.
