We stopped and got a little (although larger than I expected) greenhouse today, and now the chives and coriander have been transplanted into peat pots and put into the greenhouse. Coriander seedlings smell just like coriander. That would be nicer if I liked it. :) But we sure have a lot of it, and I suspect that more rather than less will survive the transplanting.

We were both amused by these observations. :) Anyway, it’s better than I expected,…

Sunday was practically quiet, comparatively, and yet entirely exhausting. :)
