I decided to try and grow Coriander again this season, this time from seed. My expectations were pretty low, so imagine my surprise when they started shooting!
SWEET CORIANDER (from seed)
These plants are now triple in size and quantity, I just haven't updated the pic... hehe!
A few tomato plants unexpectedly self-seeded in a garden bed of horse manure and home-made compost. Again, I had low expectations, remembering all my tomatoes dying last season from bacterial wilt.
CONTAINER TOMATO
My neighbour also donated a couple of cherry tomatoes, which I am strictly keeping in pots only! Hopefully they will survive longer than the one in the garden bed.
CARROT LEAVES
The carrots I had sown in March are also doing well, although I'm not sure when I should pick them. One had started poking its head out, so I plucked it this morning:

MY FIRST CARROTA bit small I know. But at least now I know! I was told not to water carrots, as they need to grow bigger roots downwards, and watering them regularly will only lead to the roots keeping to the surface. I am not sure whether this is true, considering it's been four months now and they are still quite small.
