YOUR OWN MONASTERY GARDEN
At Kloster Kitchen , we are not only passionate smoothie explorers, but also fans of the gardening apron. In the following sections, we will show you step by step how to sow, grow and finally harvest the seeds of our smoothie creations - strawberry, apple and peppermint - with love.
SWELL: THE MAGIC OF THE EARTH
The magical moment begins when you pour ½ cup of water into the coconut soil in a bowl. In just 3-4 minutes, the potting soil swells to about 5 cm and is ready for the first planting in the small clay pot.
YOUR MONASTERY GARDEN AWAKENS
The supplied growing soil with coconut provides the ideal environment for apple trees, strawberries and mint to thrive. It is 100% peat-free, environmentally friendly and supports resource-conserving cultivation.
Germination: Before you plant the apple seeds in the soil, you need to prepare them for germination. To do this, wrap the apple seeds in a damp paper towel. Put everything in an airtight plastic bag and place it in the fridge. Leave them there for 5 to 7 weeks. This simulates winter and interrupts the dormancy phase of the seeds so that they are ready to germinate.
Sowing: Plant the apple seeds about 2.5 cm deep in swollen soil. Remember to keep them moist and place the small clay pot in a sunny spot. As soon as you run out of space in the pot and the seedlings get bigger, it's time to repot them.Transplanting: When your seedlings are about 15-20 cm tall and have at least 1-2 sets of true leaves, it's time to transplant them into the garden or into a larger pot. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for your apple tree. Plant the seedlings at least 6-8 feet apart so they have enough room for future growth.
Harvesting: You have to be patient when harvesting apples. Quite a long time, in fact. It can take a few years for the tree to bear fruit. But hey, don't let that discourage you! Because the wait is well worth it.
Sowing: Start sowing the monthly strawberries between February and the beginning of April. Simply place the seeds on the soil and cover them very lightly.
Germination: Be patient for the next 2-3 weeks while the seeds germinate in a bright place without direct sunlight. A constant temperature of around 20°C is ideal.
Planting out: From May, it's time to plant your small plants outdoors. Choose a sunny location with loose, chalky soil and plant them about 25 cm apart.
Harvest: If you're lucky, you can harvest a sweet treat in the first year. From the second year onwards, the monthly strawberries will grow every year at best.
Sowing: Start sowing the mint in March. Sprinkle the seeds on the soil and cover them only lightly.
Germination: Be patient for around 7 to 14 days while the seeds slowly come to life at an optimum germination temperature of 18°C. A bright spot without direct sunlight is perfect.
Planting out: In April, it is time to plant the seedlings outdoors so that they can take root in their new environment. When planting out, keep a row spacing of 25-30 cm so that each plant has enough space to grow. Make sure they get plenty of sun and loose, well-drained soil.
Harvesting: The best time to harvest is before flowering (in June/July). This is when the leaves contain the most essential oils. Cut the shoots back by about half so that the plant can regenerate quickly.
