Coriander 🌿

 

Meanwhile in the shed . I am growing lots of leafy things for salads .

Everything is doing really well . The idea is that snails can't get at them .

Although one or two sometimes find their way in !  Excuse me ...you can't take a nap there !   

Generally speaking , I rarely find any snails or slugs when growing my salad leaves in the shed .

There was a wasp in the shed this morning , and it was very difficult to chase him out !                                               

Time to prick out and pot on my Coriander seedlings .

    Yes I collect stones with holes in them , don't you  ?   ....fossils , heart stones , funny face stones ......  😃

The Coriander took a very long time to germinate and the roots were very tangled .

That is why I generally prick seedlings out at the cotyledon stage 🌱

Anyway ....

 I managed to gently prize apart the delicate roots and repot them with about two or three in each pot .

              Delicious mixed in with salad leaves ..... mmmmm  🌿🌿🌿

                I think the sun is trying to come out today ☀️

I can't believe we are half way through April already !!

 Next I have to make a start sowing sweetcorn , beans and squash .

I just need to clear the decks a little bit in the shed and get the seed pans , pots , propagators( not heated ones ) and compost ready .

I must also remember to sow another lot of lettuce seeds to keep them coming .

I'd also like to make some time to put my feet up and do my embroidery . 

 I hope that the weather is improving wherever you are and you are able to grow a few nice things too .
