Those are looking really nice. I tried to grow some cilantro inside our house at one point, but like most things that I tried to grow it didn't turn out too well. I think I just don't have the time or patience to put into stuff like that. Either that or I go to extremes with the watering. Either too much or too little.
Ah thanks.. well hopefully you can have better luck with flowers or something like that.. when in the ground they need very little care and usually the rains is enough for wild flower seeds.
It's fine. I am gone so much in the summer that it isn't a huge deal anyway. Plus we have some great farmers markets nearby, so I can always get stuff from there.
