ooh, ooh, good idea, I'd better start ordering autumn/winter seed as well.
OK, can you tell me how to keep my coriander alive? I can grow pretty much anything, but coriander just looks at me and lies down :(
you're right Rhu it's very tricky, it tends to bolt if it's too hot so you need to keep sowing seeds all the time, and buy slow bolting seeds to start with. I now have a Mexican or perennial coriander to fill in the gaps when the normal one is misbehaving. It is actually easier to grow it in the winter in Sydney - where are you?
