The weather has been nasty for the last week or so, but today it came out nice and I finally got back into the garden and caught up on all my weeding. My garden seems to survive my bouts of uselessness and carry on without me. The potatoes are coming along and so are my cabbages. I don’t want to push my luck though and I’m trying to get outside more often (especially since I found some little caterpillars munching away on one of my broccoli plants).
Lush potato plants
The coriander had gone to seed and had to be pulled up. As the seedlings I had inside also died, that leaves me with no coriander. It’s possible some of the seeds from the plant have landed somewhere good and started sprouting, but with the wind we have they’re probably two or three houses over. Now that I know I can grow seedlings, I will get some coriander seeds next time I’m in town and start again.
I will also be getting some sun block because while I was weeding and puttering about I got sunburnt. I don’t think I’ve been this badly burnt since I was a kid. I’d forgotten how much it hurts.
A lot. It hurts a lot.
