The gardening bug

The gardening bug bit me in early April and this is what I have been trying to grow for the past few months.

coriander

coriander seeds sprouting

more coriander sprouts in early May

Chilli took a long time to show up

 

meanwhile, mint was growing roots

finally mint is transported to pot

 

coriander has a growth spurt

 

and some more

 

and finally there are the coriander leaves

and look who’s here… after about a month, I see chilli leaves

 

Coriander flourishes

and more….enough to make chutney!

 

and it keeps coming more everyday

mint spreads its roots and is scrambling all over inside the pot

 

some real growth of the chilli plant

 

this is the latest pic from a few days ago. Chilli has come a long way and soon there will be flowers!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mint multiplied over summer and its runners were all over the small pot so I had to transfer it to a bigger pot. Now it’s happy and contained in my balcony!
