Coffee Mug Herb Garden Update and Giveaway
Remember that herb garden I planted in some extra coffee mugs in my kitchen window sill? Well those plants sprouted and are growing strong! I still can’t believe how easy it was to sprout my very own seeds all by myself and grow some herbs in a nice convenient location.
I started with these Miracle Grown Gro-ables seed pods, and just placed them in my coffee mugs with some soil and pebbles in the bottom of the cup for drainage. It was so simple. With just a little watering when I remembered, I was able to grow these herbs, from seed!
Here’s my dill. I can’t wait until this grows a little more, and then I’ll be adding fresh dill to refrigerator pickles, fresh fish dishes and chicken salad.
This is my cilantro. I think I’ll move these outside as they grow. I use cilantro so much in Mexican and Asian dishes.
And my favorite, basil! I can’t wait to add this to well, just about everything. My son is super excited to add it to pizza. He keeps calling it the pizza herb.
I’m going to let these herbs continue to grow, until they outgrow their mugs, and then transfer them outside to our backyard garden.
Want to win some of these fun seed pods for your own garden?

Basil. Oh wait Rosemary. Or maybe thyme. Clearly it’s like choosing a favorite child ; )
I LOVE this idea– and they look so cute on the windowsill. I’d love to do this with basil and thyme.
Basil and Rosemary! Love those two.
How fun! It’s really a tie between basil and cilantro. I just love this!!!
We love to grow fresh herbs. The coffee mug idea is such a cute twist, much better than my ugly little clay pots! I might have to do this
Your garden looks way better than mine! My dill never made it and my basil is just starting to sprout. I have an issue when it comes to pruning. I’m pretty sure I basically hacked off everything. 🙁
I just love this idea! Too bad I kill everything…
I am totally in LOVE with these… OMG
That’s awesome. I’m lucky enough to live in CA where I can grow most things outside all year long. BUT I lived in Minnesota for many years and would have loved this idea!
How cool are those!! I love the fact that you grew them in extra mugs. I have a ton of those. Oh yeah….my favorite herb is sage. Love, love, love it.
Basil! This is SO cute!! I am so doing this 🙂
So cool! I can’t WAIT to get my herbs going. I have basil and mint already on their way, but I need to plant the rest this weekend! I’m so envious of your sink window. I always thought being able to look out the window would make doing dishes slightly less awful. 🙂
cilantro for fresh salsa and guacamole

Well, choosing my favorite herb is difficult because I have so many. I really like cilantro, but I also like sage, and parsley, and thyme…and of course basil! I could keep going, but I don’t want to bore. you. Love these herbs in your photos!
I love basil!!!! It’s by far my favorite. All that pesto I can make…or adding it to strawberry iced tea… Oh yes please!
The mugs are so cute. I was just talking about how I really need to water my herbs more often. When I remember, they suck the water right up. Poor things.
Well now, that’s just adorbs! Love this idea and great to have herbs right at your finger tips.
Parsley is my favorite herb.

My favorite herb is thyme. I use it for fish, chicken, pork, and vegetables. I’d love to try to grow some indoors.
