The Garden...

...is in full bloom now, mostly spring bulbs -
Purple hyacinth - Macro
- but even the tiny sweet basil seedlings have made an early appearance (I didn't have many seeds left, so I spread them pretty far apart, might be able to avoid the "thinning" process completely with a bit of luck) -
Tiny basil seedlings...
- and the mint has made an unexpected return (after dying completely over the winter) -
Sprouting Mint - Macro
- need to go and buy some coriander too at some point, I'm wise this year to the need to pinch their flowers off when they start to appear, if you let them get away with it they completely stop producing tasty leaves! ;)

Loved the idea of your coriander somehow having naughty intentions... and getting found out...
