Two traumas won’t make a recovery
The propagator is on the sill. Empty toilet rolls have been cut in half and filled with compost and seeds (sweet corn). Other seeds are ready to take their place once germination has been established and the seedlings have been transferred to K’s greenhouse. I’m planting coffee seeds next, I expect. The ones I got on Ebay before xmas. I’ve also managed to squeeze into the propagator two pots of hypodronically grown herbs. One is mint the other parsley. Both have been shorn to give flavour to a couscous dish I made the other day. I am hoping they will yield another crop for another dish. I’ve tried both these herbs before and found mint to be no problem whereas the parsley, being so tightly packed, can disappoint unless I thin them dramatically. And I didn’t bother doing that on the day I cut them down. Two traumas won’t make a recovery, I fear. I may just put it in the compost bag. Talking of which. I have to take it down to the compost bin very soon. I.e. today. It is beginning to pong a little. But that, I guess, is all part and parcel of caring for the environment.
