Coriander, home and shop
I planted some coriander, one pot from saved seed and one from an old but unopened sachet of commercial seed that I didn't realise I had. Of course if it all germinates, as usual I shall have far too much...
The elderly commercial rocket seed did eventually produce some plants, although they are still smaller and less vigorous than the ones from the saved seed. But I hadn't realised until checking back just now that this is actually growth from a re-sowing after the first attempt failed, so in fact those plants are simply a couple of weeks younger :-p
I think we now have another honesty seedling coming up the side of the seed compartment, where I presumably jammed another one in after the first lot failed! The flax appears to be germinating already. And for the first time ever I have flower buds on my little bonsai holly, which germinated of its own accord back in 2019 and has presumably reached sexual maturity. (Does that mean that it's a female?)
I have picked and eaten all the pak choi, and since that was the last of the seed with the exception of the mutant reverted variety I accidentally bred last year :-p I'm not too worried, since the kale I acquired this year (which was itself self-seeded) looks as if it is going to do much better as a plant that can be harvested continously rather than simply bolting into flower within a few weeks. Of course it is potentially Much Bigger...
Moved various other plants (e.g. nasturtiums) up a pot size into the vacated pak choi pots!
