Didn’t take a photo on Day 6.

Coriander – Day 7

Coriander – Day 8

Looks like the shoots are drooping now.

*VERY BIG SIGH*

 

Coriander – Day 7

I plucked out the dead bits and left the bits that still look like they might survive.

There is a pool of water sitting in the saucer, so I don’t know what benefit watering it is going to do.  Pouring this water back into the soil merely results in it seeping right out the bottom again.

Hoping I haven’t killed it.

Coriander – Day 5

Looking very sad.  Then 10yo son pointed out the new shoots that were standing upright.

Coriander Experiment – Day 2

This is the second day of the Great Coriander-Growing Experiment.  I wrote about Day 1 here.

Mr Yewnique said that the placement of the pot by the kitchen window was not ‘in the shade’ and moved it to another place in the kitchen.
