I love corriander and want to grow some next year if possible because the
dried stuff is useless, I've read a few snippets in here about it being
notoriously difficult to grow, has anyone successfully managed it and how? -
which variety? obviously it's going to be seasonal, so another question, can
it be frozen as it is for soups/curries etc or does it lose it's flavour
like the dried variety?

Sheltered spot, south facing, so more or less full sun, also got 2
greenhouses :-) Lancs.

TIA

I find it tends to bolt in very sunny/dry periods. Keep it warm, light but
not hot and sunny.
It freezes well but it goes soggy - ok for cooking. It does loose some
flavour after a while, but it's acceptable.
