Top dress rosemary with gravel — helps avoid fungus and looks cool.
Cilantro likes way more water then I ever imagined. No wonder my cilantro always didn't make it. It wants as much water as parsley does. You can learn a lot about a plant by growing it indoors.
Let's welcome back cilantro 😄🌿 — the heat is over. It can live happily indoors with parsley + chives.
A simple watering plan by plant type will make winter growing easier, because there is a mix of “drink like crazy” and “sip slowly” plants.
Here’s a way to categorize the collection into watering groups:
💦 Water Lovers (frequent, keep evenly moist)
Parsley
Chives
Cilantro (new roommate!)
Basil
Lettuce / leafy greens
And yes, you are all my favourite <3
Here’s a “Who’s Coming In?” winter garden plan for my 2-tier grow setup. Still undecided: wire or iron.
They had basically all moved outside. Some new starts were ready to separate and transplant.
This is a critical growth period. I may go a bit overboard here.
At the end of the week the only single plant who suffered, was a parsley in what I thought was in a good pool of water. That parsley still requires way more water than I thought it would.
So many herbs this year. I've just brought a few inside because of a heatwave and I am going to be away for a week. So I did some research. Sorted some Specs. And, I took some notes ;)
Who needs what when it comes to herbs.
