I have been trying to grow some Coriender for a while now without much

grows .......... I then discovered that I needed a 'for leaf' variety
such as Centrillo (or a something similar name)

Would that be Cilantro?
One of the mainstays of Mexican cooking, and for the people that grow it
around here, it's usually in a nondescript shaded sided of the house
plot. I don't think they fertilize it at all. It's used so regularly
that it doesn't have much chance to go to seed, well maybe they leave a
few sprigs for that, I never inquired about the technique. Since it's a
variety of zanahoria (carrot), maybe you could put it in with them.

Yes, Cilantro = Coriander.
Tim.

Yes that was it Cilantro ........... brain not working due to a lack
of indian food and coriander ............

I think Tim has my answer SUN. We live in a very exposed part of
Lincolnshire, and when the sun shines it gets very warm (no shade) and
dry (although the soil tends to retain moisture ......... good
brassica land)

Anyway, I shall try some in pots in a 'shady area' ?? and eat it
quickly ......... :-)

Thanks 4 the replies
