I’m growing an indoor herb garden and is it normal for parsley seeds to grow a thick opaque blue film around them before and during germination? Also do cilantro seeds get slightly … fuzzy(?) before they germinate? Help !

Im usgin the "Chia" herb garden. So the seeds are resting on top of the "sponge"

They appear to be contaminated. They should just look like always when they send out their shoots for roots and cotyledons. A couple of tonics to help before planting are: Seed Starter Tonic. Indoors or outdoor plantings. 1 cup of white vinegar. 1 Tsp, of baby shampoo or liquid dish soap. 2 cups of warm water. Mix all three together in a bowl and let the seed soak overnight before planting. To prevent Damping off, that’s when seedlings rot off at the ground or lower level and die. Use 4 tsp of Chamomile tea and 1 tsp liquid dish soap added to a quart of boiling water let steep for an hour. Strain and cool.
Mist on seedlings as soon as they appear. The seeds are contaminated from something, molds?. Perhaps from their source? Maybe in handling? Perhaps the planting medium? Did you follow "Chi’s" pre-cleaning and planting instructions? They want their product to work so you and your friends are repeat customers. These two recipes will greatly aid you in a healthy herb garden. Your environment in the house is perhaps drier than a desert. You will have to water the herbs more frequently than if they were in the ground outside. Watch for drooping to indicate dryness. I bought a moisture meter from Walmart for about $5. to help me get the correct soil moisture every time, instantly.

A weeks worth of progress in the indoor / outdoor apartment vegetable / herb gardens minus the Bob Ross style music. Green onions are blast! Almost within hours you can see growth on these things. Tragedy did strike my red bell pepper as it did not like my overwatering skills, but I flipped out thinking I had verticilium in my dirt b/c I took pine straw from the ground next to a tree to aid in drainage. I kept the dirt, but replanted both the tomato and the new peppers in brand new organic soil. Since researching more, it was probably over watering as I’ve read over and over that peppers like it a bit dry. Enjoy!

There are few things in life as good as your own herb, grown by yourself at home out in the garden and indoors in pots… Oregano, Dill, Basil, Sage and other herbs are all easy to grow. Mint will take over the whole yard if you let it. Fresh mint and celantro are incredible in salads and oriental dishes. But it all comes down to a truly motivational herb that is your friend and mine, a great healer and teacher to those that know it well.
Most people think of gardens as a seasonal, yearly project, but its actually less time consuming and more rewarding to keep the garden going year round. If one were to attempt to grow year round, indoor gardening techniques will be needed at least during winter to keep the garden producing. You will have herb fresh at all times, there is no worry of mass storage thru the winter and spring, it requires less space, and once established, requires only minimal attention every week to keep it producing at optimal levels.
The best part of being a gardener is it connects you to the earth. It connects you with nature, and is spiritually enriching. Try giving your plants energy by beaming good thoughts and energy at them every time you visit them. I find this helps me as much as it helps them; my plants seem to respond to it favorably.

GENETICS AND THE PLANT

Its very important to start with good genetics. You should attempt to find seeds from local gardeners that are acclimated and bred for local climate and best floral characteristics. Potency, aroma, fast growth, early maturation, resistance to fungus and pests. All of these factors are considered by the seasoned gardener and you will benefit enormously by finding a friend to get you started on the journey that never ends…
Attempt to find an Indica/Sativa hybrid if possible, as this will have the best high and good characteristics for indoor growth as well. Indica plants have a heavy, stony high that is tiresome, and sativas are hard to grow indoors due to high light requirements, and late flowering traits, so a hybrid can be bread that will have the energetic, cerebral high of the sativa and the early maturation tendencies of the Indica plant.
The Indica plant is easily recognized by its extremely broad leaves that are very rounded on the sides. The Sativa has very narrow, finger-like leaves. A hybrid will have qualities of both and have leaves that are a cross of these two types, thinner than an Indica, but much broader than a Sativa. It is possible to recognize a good hybrid by the leaves once you know what to look for.
Look for seeds that are dark brown or light grey. Some may have dark lines inset into these colors, like tiger stripes. White, small seeds are immature and should not be planted.
