Winter Desiccation



My Oregan Grapeholly is showing some signs of winter desiccation (browning on leaves). Make sure your broadleaf plants have available soil moisture. These are in my nursery to be moved come spring and don't have an expansive root system.


A windbreak would also help reduce moisture loss from the leaves.

Indoor Cilantro





I've been enjoying this batch of cilantro for quite awhile now. When the temperature rises it starts to flower and turn bitter. I've been harvesting since fall on this planting. It does pretty well here in my sunroom. It is probably time to start a new batch so I can have continuous fresh cilantro for my egg burrito!
