I've only ever tried coriander and that wasn't overly successful. I
did use culinary seeds rather than ones specifically for planting
though, if it makes a difference.

There are two sorts of edible coriander; one with spidery leaves
grown to produce the culinary seeds, and one with larger flat leaves
which is the sort to use when a recipe calls for a handful of chopped
coriander. So, the culinary seeds you planted would not produce the
leaf one if that's what you wanted.


That'll be why it didn't work then! Thank you, I thought as much.

You'll find seed of the leaf sort sold in any GC as cilantro, it's
easy
to grow sown in the open garden and not too late to start a crop now.
Don't transplant them, it makes them bolt to flower and then they stop
leaf production.


Brilliant, many thanks; I'll get some. I *never* have any coriander in when
I want it so it'll be nice to have some growing. It freezes well too, if I
end up with loads of it.
