We've had a cold spring. I'm using lots of fresh parsley, thyme, oregano and chives, though. Lettuce and multiplier onions are ready to eat, but nothing else yet. We’ve had a cold spring.

During the hot days, in between torrential rains and cloudy days, in april. Im still eating it though! The actualSEED pods are great! Im getting small baby lettuce sized leaves up the stem that taste very good with no sign of woodyness or excessive bitterness associated with bolting. My cilantro is going slow but this is porbably just due to the overcompeeting arugula shading it My Arugula bolted also! During the hot days, in between torrential rains and cloudy days, in april.

My bok choy looks like it might be ready, but I'm not completely sure. They are now the size of baby bok choy, but the seed package didn't call them "baby", just "bok choy"!
