I wasn't sure what happened... It was very happy in the water but once it got into soil, no dice... After researching I learned that cilantro hates to be re-potted... Oops! I'm sure this could work with other herbs though. Or maybe just keeping it in water. Trial 2 at some point, I'm sure!

Also, my chickpea sprouting didn't work. I realized after my attempt that I had initially put the beans in boiling water and then let it sit to soak as per the instructions on the bad. I wasn't thinking of sprouting at the time so didn't think that I was "killing" the beans. Next time I will just let them soak and then see if they sprout.
On the plus side, this was the first time I had used dried chickpeas to make hummus and WOW!! The texture and flavour are INCREDIBLE!
I will never again buy canned chickpeas. The soaking and cooking process is totally worth the extra little bit of work. Nevermind how much cheaper it is to buy beans in bulk...
Lots of good learning happening!
