Title: Tall Seedlings
Post by: Gazfoz on May 18, 2007, 10:23:23
I hve sown some herbs and the Coriander have shot up and are now lying on the soil but growing ok.
Will they be ok or should I sow some more?

coriander does have a tendency to go to seed quicker than it should. So to have a continuous supply it's best to sow some every few weeks IMHO

If you have the time, the space, the pots and the seed sow regularly!
;D

we let some go to seed to bring in the hoverflies, and for the seed, of course  :)

We don't know that it has gone to seed, do we?

I mean, has it flowered yet? Unlikkely, I would have thought.

Quite right Tim.
They are only a few weeks old and seem to be growing ok but are not very upright. They have just had an attack of greenfly which I have wiped off by hand.
The slugs and snails have battered my spuds (will they recover) and I have stems where basil used to be.
My parsley is going great but I hate the stuff!
I want to be organic but my trigger finger is getting itchy.
Any thoughts?

Gary.
