I had the peat pots and the potting soil already.<br /><br />My cilantro seeds sprouted like crazy. I had enough cilantro to feed the neighborhood, that is until I planted the seedlings in the blocks on the greenhouse pad. All I have now are stalks, and dying stalks at that. I guess cilantro can't continue living without its leaves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-82000506442405277962014-04-20T14:22:13.921-07:002014-04-20T14:22:13.921-07:00Happy Easter!! :)Happy Easter!! :)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-70030464878340136282014-04-20T14:21:51.239-07:002014-04-20T14:21:51.239-07:00Looks like you are getting some runners with the s...Looks like you are getting some runners with the strawberries...as soon as they have attached to the ground and hove some roots you can cut the cord and transplant them...sometimes strawberries need a bit more space.
