Signs of Life

Over the weekend I managed to get some seeds planted and to my complete surprise, this morning I saw the first signs of life sprouting their way through the soil.




It is such a buzz seeing those little green shoots get bigger and bigger. They have even grown noticeably since this morning. I need them to get a little bigger so that I can see what they are. I know that I planted Bok Choi, Pak Choi, Tatsoi and Coriander but with my limited gardening knowledge, I need to see the mature plant to be able to identify any of them.


The bags of sheep manure are still sitting next to the front vegetable garden beds. Fingers crossed that tomorrow this job will get crossed off the 'to do' list.


Take care

  1. Alot of plants look like that when they come up (broccoli, cauliflower, radish etc). I do the same thing too though. Put it in the ground and forget what it is. Sometimes I remember to put the package under a rock at the end of the row. It is spring here too and when it dries up I will be planting too!

  2. Oh, Mary. I wish we would get some rain here. In the last 3 months we have had 48mm. Not much so everything is really dry and crunchy.

  3. It is exciting ..... and then they go and grow some more! I love coriander and I'm waiting to see if the seeds I scattered around from the last lot will come up.

  4. Duchess, coriander is certainly a favourite of mine too. I planted some about 3 years ago and let it go to seed. Each year since, I have found it come up in the most amazing places in the garden.

  5. I'm pretty sure that's the coriander. Hehe. I take pride on being able to identify seed sprouts. Neat blog! I'm your newest follower.

  6. Honestly Good Food, I do hope it is. We just love it as we tend to do quite a bit of asian cooking when we have a lot of coriander the garden.
    Thanks for joining us.

  7. I only recently discovered tatsoi, and love the stuff! I'd be interested to see how quickly they grow for you.

  8. cityhippyfarmgirl, there is still only coriander (I think that is what it is). The other 3 haven't popped their little heads out yet. I'll let you know.
