The borage ended up shading out much of the cilantro but it grew and grew.<br />-----------------------------------<br />Martha - The ice bath idea was my girlfriends. It's a great way to rinse larger lettuce's without the threat of wilting.<br />-----------------------------------<br />Granny - I've enjoyed every salad i've managed to harvest. As usual thank you for the encouragement!<br />-----------------------------------<br />Villager - Spinach was one of the first things we planted. In retrospect I realize that we did not do a good job weeding before we planted it which is why it wasn't to succesful. With experience comes knowledge and the next batch should do better.<br />-----------------------------------<br />Thyme2garden - I'll be following along with you as well!Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736844421221635306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091010318271701420.post-22600683359526366302010-06-29T07:27:27.573-04:002010-06-29T07:27:27.573-04:00I haven't been picking my parsley yet.

Now it is bolting. I did plant some at the new house, but it is so tiny right now. So I haven't gotten any yet this year.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091010318271701420.post-21327229663329733502010-06-29T01:57:29.309-04:002010-06-29T01:57:29.309-04:00Oh, cilantro!

Tried it again this year, and it did the same. Might try it in a shady spot next.

I do the same thing!! :) There wasn't an option to "follow" your blog at the top of your page.
