Here are some dishes to share with you: http://wendiland.myshopify.com/blogs/recipes In Southern California, I have one growing in a 2 ft x 1 ft area, and it grows fast enough to provide my small family to pick weekly. It's enough for us to make a salad, and soup about 2 or 3 times a week. This plant loves moist soil, and does well in full sun, partial sun/partial shade, filtered light. In colder climate, this plant can be grown indoor by the window, but will be a bit slower growing.  ------- ♥What You Will Receive♥ Plant Height (vary): about 5-10 in Your plant is fully rooted.  It will be shipped in the pot with a high quality organic soil. ♥Our Growing Practice♥ We believe that growing high quality foods require high quality soil; therefore, the ingredients we use for growing are of higher standards compared to the conventional systems.
