Shoots and leaves

Basil shoots

So much for me thinking that the combination of the herb seeds, peat pots, propagator, and my sunny window sill wouldn’t yield any results.

Day 3 after sowing (Wednesday) saw the basil shoots peep through the soil and say hello to the world, while today, they appeared to have grown still further.

They are the ones which are going the greatest guns, but the chives are fast catching up. The coriander and parsley have been slower developers, but this morning, the coriander seeds look as if they have started to crack open.

It’s all very exciting.

    I love reading your blog. I am growing tarragon. Who knows? We could be exchanging seeds by the end of the season. Avid reader from sunny Sudbury.

    The coriander seems to have spouted into action today with the tiniest of shoots. Only the parsley has to catch up now.
