Well the sun has come out and it’s a beautiful blue sky…extremely windy – but I’m going to make the most of it now and plant more coriander! (And lots of seedlings that are also ready). These coriander seeds are saved seeds from my crop I let go to seed earlier on in the year. I use the seeds crushed up in curries and also a really lovely salad with cherry tomatoes, pinenuts, orzo and fresh basil leaves.
I thought I might plant some of these seeds out too (I’ve already planted out some fresh Yates Coriander seed…so we’ll see how these go). I use old evenlopes from cards that people give me and pop a silica gel pack in the evenlope to help keep them dry. (These are re-used when I purchase new shoes or from burritos etc – they’re found in lots of packaging to keep moisture out).
I try really hard to keep my gardening costs to a minimum – hence re-using things out in the garden. And when I do my shopping, I always take the packaging into consideration. I wouldn’t consider myself a greenie, but I think we all need to do our bit to keep the planet in top shape.
