I agree with you on the salad - I do something similar in that I plant seedlings about 6" apart, and then just start picking the leaves when they get big enough. The harvest just keeps going and going for over a month and I only pick the heads once they start to bolt.<br /><br />I love the cilantro story - sometimes those "just throw it in and see what happens" moments surprise us.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-58497790687830220242017-06-20T03:18:51.005-04:002017-06-20T03:18:51.005-04:00I've never seen a sage flower before and mine ...I've never seen a sage flower before and mine have never budded, so this is exciting for me. Thanks for sharing, I am guessing it is edible and be good in salad bowl. I am loving homegrown strawberries too, way too many though. Yours look lovely in the cartons. And cilantro, pass me some over - its my favourite herb.Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-65996074608963912522017-06-19T20:51:12.338-04:002017-06-19T20:51:12.338-04:00That's a ton of tatsoi and bok choy, so wonder...That's a ton of tatsoi and bok choy, so wonderful.

My Earliglow plants are finished bearing and a deer that doesn't know its place has found the planter. I've given up on cilantro, and don't care.

The netting is stretched tight over the beds on 2-foot posts and anchored firmly. Makes it a nuisance to pick, but saves the fruit!Eight Gate Farm NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877942009419912353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-87182429295346918262017-06-19T15:04:05.753-04:002017-06-19T15:04:05.753-04:00Thanks, Dave.

Yours are beautiful! <br /><br />I can usually get some cilantro through the summer if I start big clumps of it and harvest it as babies. Which reminds me, I need to get out my big bag of seeds and sow some more.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-78588251293507314302017-06-19T10:47:52.478-04:002017-06-19T10:47:52.478-04:00Love those strawberries!
