Do you remember the post I did a couple of weeks ago in which I tested your seedling-identification skills? One of the pictures I posted was of Coriander (Cilantro).
As I wrote at the time, I do not normally grow this herb because I am allergic to it, but I happened to see some little seedlings that had volunteered themselves from a batch of Baby Leaf Salad that I grew last year, and since Jane likes it I thought I would rescue some of the volunteer seedlings and see if I could grow them on.
Initially I managed to find 7 seedlings, and I transferred them into a small pot. Subsequently I found another 3, and they went into a second pot.
Very thoughtful indeed, such a nice husband!
ReplyDeleteAww! Coochi, coochi, coochi, little bubbies. Yes Jane is a lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteGoodness me Mark - I had no idea people could be allergic to coriander... I hope you are careful as a guest when you tuck into home made salads - I always put some in mine!
ReplyDeleteAren't the little seedlings sweet? And don't they look a lot like parsley :D
Looks like the corriander I started from seed at the end of Feb is starting to develop flowers. I was hoping it would last longer. Suppose I will sow more seed.
ReplyDeleteMy Husbands family can't stand coriander well i didn't know untill I served my Mums carrot and coriander soup the looks I got
ReplyDeleteI love coriander, and was determined to grow loads this year. I had lots of healthy seedling waiting to get planted out - and then the snails found them :-(
