Coriander

Should I leave them on? or should I remove them to encourage growth?. I assume I can eat them OK? Thanks If you leave them, they should produce seeds, which are also useful in cooking. However you can save them, and sow them next year. I grow coriander in the garden - last year I bought a plant in a garden centre, but this year about 6 plants have grown from the seeds which fell off last year's plant. I currently have massive 80cm tall coriander plants which are beginning to flower too. (a bit late to this...) As far as I'm aware, all parts of the plant can be eaten. If you let it seed, the unripe green seeds concentrate the fresh flavour amazingly. This is in deep contrast to the mature dry seed. The unripe seeds are great in a salad I grow a 20 ft row of coriander every year, with successional (sp?) sowing, so that there's some at every stage. -- comp.john |
