Still too cold to plant outside, so I've begun most of my plants in little containers that I got from raiding the recycling bin. I started everything but the carrots, lettuce, marigolds, and echinacea. Hopefully by the end of the month, I can start putting stuff outside, but spring is mightily late this year and we're still waking up to frost.
The cilantro is in the big terra cotta pot. The package said it's difficult to transplant so I just decided to grow it in a pot. My roommate loaned me this one, and she's kindly allowing me to put the table of plant starter pots in her front window, which isn't in my space. It has great southern exposure so I hope the plants do well there.

Best wishes with the spring planting, WC! I keep trying to plant cilantro here, but that and basil are eaten immediately by the birds every time (greedy things)!
That earth looks wonderful. Am glad that you found so many pots. Wish we lived closer to each other, there are a ton of them in my garage (I recycle them).
Hope the frost goes away soon, or that we have a reaaaaalllly long summer.
Now you just need to get a Gumby like Karen did - like I said, he can grow giant watermelons and chickens...
I'd like to grow a few things if I had the space.
Sounds wonderful. you are right about the late spring..
Your picture reminds me of a hen with her chicks :)
Gardening, whether indoor or outdoor, is always a rewarding task!
I'm just about to clear out much of my balcony garden - little will survive the winter except the chives, basil, sage, thyme and mint - and the small Bay tree. I love cooking with herbs :)
Cilantro is one of my favorites and I didn't plant any.....what a beautiful job getting your pots & seeds ready...I'll be excited to see the shoots coming up ......
