Herbs - Update

Some weeks after posting this we had to admit that the balcony herb garden wasn't doing perfectly. True: the basil, mint, oregano, and parsley were standing strong and producing prolifically .. but the chives were a sad sight to behold and the coriander appeared to be using all its energy producing flowers rather than leaves.

We decided to cut the coriander down, move the chives to a different "field" .. and sow more coriander. The chives regained a bit after being replanted but never came came to their former vigour. Not all of the new coriander adapted, but we're back at a reasonably production rate (although they can't keep up with the other 4).
