    And what are your growing conditions faerie~spangles
  • The seeds I bought in an Asian food shop.

    All I do is pop some seeds into a pot of compost, put in my tiny plastic green house. When the plants develop I don't even p r i c k out, just break up and plant in the ground.


    If it makes you feel better I can't grow basil :D

    That's the question I posed to a friend this morning and she was certain the seeds in Asian shops were roasted so "dead". Well it seems she was wrong :p
  • Sow in May/June - I prep a row or area, chuck the seeds down and bingo.

    If you want it for the leaves though - you are better buying Cilantro seeds, rather than Coriander.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    We had a thread a while ago. I recommended quilquina as a substitute, and I still do.

    Not sure how it will fare as we go into winter, but I've just germinated some to grow under protection.

    I am after a coriander as I use a lot in Indian fusion cooking.

    Quilquina looks nothing at all like the coriander leaves - what's the flavour like?
