The parsley is a bit leggy, a few leaves are yellowing and something has nipped off some top leaves. Visiting intruder cat? Possum?
The spinnos are battling. Some still strong and some succumbing. The carrots look good but it’s so discouraging to know after thinning I’ll only have a few. Needed a much bigger pot.
The cat grass is still being so slow.
I always find carrots are quite unsatisfying for the space they take up. I much prefer radish and beetroot. Radish are quick to grow a useful crop, and can be left to provide quite pretty flowers if you have the space. Beetroot have lovely coloured leaves which are tasty (and don’t have the prickle factor of radish leaves). A few feathery carrot leaves in the garden provide a nice backdrop to other plants, but they are just not one of my favourites.
I always feel bad when I have to throw out extra seedlings I don’t need, especially when they have grown well. I ended up planting a couple of capsicum and a chilli in the front garden so at least they have a chance - and if they do grow I get an honesty test of the neighbourhood, as they are right next to the footpath.
The damn purple leaves are everywhere 🤣
