Step 1 - Weekly Checklist
Make a weekly checklist that you can continue to use to make sure your system is up and running properly and that your plants are growing! Make a copy of this checklist to get you started. Add to the checklist as you see fit!
Step 2 - Harvesting your plants
As your plants grow there will be different times to harvest each of the plants. Check out this harvest guide for tips about when and how to harvest different plants you might be growing.
Step 3 - Recipe Card
Now that you have plants ready to harvest, it is time to start thinking about what to do with all the food! Create a recipe card for a meal that you can make with the plants you are growing.
Make a copy of this template and edit it online to make your recipe card. Take a look at this example if you are stuck getting started! Be sure to share your recipe card in the reflection section and check out other recipes being shared that you might want to make!
