Hey, check this out -- the cherry tomatoes are actually putting out the beginnings of flower buds!
It's gonna be a long, long time before they're tomatoes. But it's a start!
What if this thing actually works?
Back in the lettuce patch, I forgot to mention that last week I harvested a 1 1/8 oz. salad from the second box. That's 42 cents not spent on Whole Foods mixed greens. Woo hoo! At this pace...uh...never mind.
When I harvested the first salad, I carefully snipped the ripe-looking leaves and tried to avoid the tiny little baby leaves to give them a chance to grow back. For the second salad, I said screw it and just clear-cut the whole box.
This week, they've both grown back fine. So I'm clear-cutting from now on.
I snipped another 5/8 oz. of lettuce from the upper lettuce patch today. Yep, that's nearly one quarter of a sawback that remains in my pocket.
There's a mystery plant growing among my salad greens. It kinda looks like parsley, but I don't think it is.
Could be a weed. But it tastes OK, so I'll let it live.
It looks like cilantro.

Doesn't taste like cilantro, though. I've got tons of cilantro growing at home. This ain't that.
ReplyDeletehow d'you get cilantro to grow? I tried for years but if I look at it wrong or think bad thoughts it bolts.
ReplyDeletemine bolts, too. (the stuff outside, not in the cubicle farm.) i'm trying to just cut off the bolting parts, but that's not working very well.
