Mary’s cilantro 1/4

Yes that one is definitely taller.  I’ve since plucked the tallest stems (and ate them with my leftover curry ).

Fiirst let me say they all look great.  Second, they always look clean and neat.  I wish my counters were that spotless.  Actually, I need new counters and cabinets too.

I know, it will be a very long time until I redo my kitchen the way I want it.. or I move to a new house that has a kitchen I love LOL

I cut off a ton of deteriorating stems.  I don’t know why I’m trying to keep these alive.  I wonder if it’ll survive the weekend while I’m gone.  We shall see.

You are smarter and braver than me    I think I will try to pull the plug when I get back home.

I am astounded that these are still alive.  These roots were so dark and slimy that most of them fell off when the pods were lifted out for water change.  And they’re so young!  Well, they’re still alive after my brief absence.  Of course, after their feeding yesterday they probably taste horrible right now, but we shall see.

They did come back nicely.

I heard for older longer growing plants that when the roots are slimy or brown to put a teaspoon of peroxide in the water every feeding.  Have you ever heard of this?  It is supposed to help keep roots healthy and encourage growth.  

Good to know, because if it helped yours I would tend to try it myself now if I ever experience that.
