Thanks for the tips. I had great luck with the parsley last year. I had so much by the end of the summer that I cut it all back, chopped it and froze it in ice cube trays. Popped the parsley cubes out into a freezer bag and had it to use all winter. Just ran out. I’ll have to plant new and shade it a bit.
The coriander is doing well so far and has not bolted. I have it shaded under some large squash leaves as I am growing the squash vertically in the raised bed garden and the leaves can provide a lot of shade as needed and as I arrange them. Also have the leaves shading lettuce so hopefully, the shade will keep the lettuce from bolting too quickly. We’ll see as this is the first time I’ve tried this.
Thanks for the tip on growing coriander. I’m going to scratch some later today. Wish me luck!
You mentioned lettuce so I’ll pass on a ‘find’ that I’m really happy with. ‘Summer Crisp’ lettuce from Burpee. I grew it a few years ago & couldn’t find it again until this year when I spotted it on the Burpee seed rack at WalMart. Held up really good for me during the summer planted in a flower box that was sitting on the ground at the end of the house. My house sits katty-wompous w/ a lot of trees so the lettuce got morning sun only.) Never bolted & didn’t get bitter. (Look for a Batavia type lettuce if you can’t find Summer Crisp. Batavia’s are supposed to hold up better as a main season lettuce. ‘Nevada’ is one of the more common Batavias.)
