I have a bit of an odd question... I planted some herbs in a pot for the pigs and both my dill and corriander have started to flower (tiny White flowers on the dill and little yellow flowers on the corriander).

Does anyone know if it's okay for the pigs to eat these flowers and have anyone else's herbs flowered at all?

I thought I'd created some sort of weird hybrid as the tops of the corriander is beginning to look like dill :{
 
You're not alone! My corriander has flowered as well. It's very pretty but doesn't look so tasty. No idea if it's ok for them to eat though.
 
That also happened to my coriander and i cut it down in the end, as I'm not sure of they can eat the flowers either.

Next year i will only be planting a few seeds! :)
 
Thanks guys :) Glad I'm not the only one with weird plants :))

I think I may just chop the flowers off and hope they keep growing :{
 
Herbs tend to bolt after a time, but piggies can eat the flowers.
