A collection of fragrant herbs introduced by the ancient Romans and much prized for their culinary properties. Just add water to feast like an Emperor!

A great gift for history buffs this Father's Day or as a thoughtful gift or a fun family project. All you’ll need is a small container, water and a warm, sunny spot on the windowsill. Within 6-8 weeks the seedlings will be ready to plant into the ground or into pots.

Compressed coir bar containing:

o Marjoram seeds

o Thyme seeds

o Basil seeds

Start by unwrapping your Growbar and place it with the brown protective paper facing upwards, into a container with plenty of space to allow it to expand; a takeaway food tray is ideal. Gently pour half a litre of water into the tray and position indoors on a warm, bright sunny windowsill. The seeds will need to be a cosy 18°-22° to germinate.

Water regularly and ensure the Growbar is perfectly moist, it should remain the colour of a rich dark ginger cake.

After a few weeks you should have a bar neatly dotted with little seedlings. These will be happy growing together in the bar for a further month in their sunny location.
