Coriander growing time.

Why rewrite what has already been written about our dear Corie, aka coriander, when Penny Woodward from Organic Gardener Magazine has already done a such a bang up job.

Best grown from seed sown directly where they are to grow. Once you start moving them around and transplanting them it only increases the speed before they run to seed or shortens your harvest time..

Also regular picking or harvesting, whether youre using it or now will add to the life span of your coriander. This also applies to most other herbs as well.

So, get sowing, now's the time!

Cheers

Stewart.

My top ten veggie plants to plant or sow in June.


Planting lists are quite possibly in abundant over supply so I thought, 'Why not add to the abundance.'

My veggie garden's top ten plants to plant or sow in June.

In no particular order of anything.

  1. Onions.
  2. Peas, of course
  3. Broadies, Broad Beans can still be planted.
  4. Cabbage, Kale, probably past the seed stage for kale, best to try seedlings.
  5. Lettuce
  6. Rads, Radish
  7. Strawberries
  8. Pak Choi.
  9. Spring Onions
  10. Turnips.

    • You could also try Beetroot, Carrots, Cauliflower (seedlings only, bit late for seeds), Celery, Chives, Coriander, Parsley Italian and curly leaf, Potatoes but you'll need to cover them if frost is around, Rocket, Silverbeet, Snow pea, Spinach,

Lilly Pilly Topiary Balls

Not exactly veggie gardening, I know, but all in a days work.

I wish it was this quick and easy.

This is two and a half shrubs trimmed.


I've got fourteen to do and on a good day they will take about six to seven hours to trim them all.
