Hello, I grow coriander in a pot on the window-ledge & it does fine there. It is starting to produce little flowers. 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. -- John John, how would you use that amount of Coriander? *I have lettuce growing, enough to feed the 5,000 and I have no idea how to use the majority of it; although I eat a green salad every day. *Maybe I should go into the cooking group and ask for recipes; although lettuce soup is awful. Breed rabbits and feed them the lettuce -- Martin Oh no Martin, they breed rabbits for the table here and neighbours keep offering me one, they ask me to select it when still alive!!!!! The first time my neighbour offered me one, I said "oh dear; you mean you'll kill it?" she replied "well, you can't eat it alive"! I don't like rabbit at all. Judith |

Judith We've got a neighbour who keeps rabbits for the table. While we welcome his occasional gift of plums or melons, a skinned rabbit was not the nicest. The Mrs was not impressed as he had left its head on and its dead eyes were staring at her as she prepared it. Put her off the meal. Can't say as I'm too keen on the taste either. The meat is a bit strong, though I suppose one could get used to it. -- David in Normandy.

If the rabbit tasted strong, it had either been eating something unusual or had been left too long after being killed. It is a very bland meat, except by comparison with supermarket 'white' meats. I am afraid that I find both of your responses rather sad. Sorry, but the reality of butchery is an intrinsic part of meat eating. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

I agree with you, call me a wuss if you like :-) I went trout fishing and I couldn't take the hook out of it's mouth and, yes, I did eat it after someone else took it out. I have 3 chickens, free range. Quite deliberately, I have not named them; I see them as food and they will be pot au chicken in the Winter. No, I won't kill them, as I said, I am a wuss :-) Judith |

I have a couple of favourite recipes, err well, one is my favourite and one is Davids ob gardening. My tomato plants in the basket have lots of flowers. No sign of any lumpy bits yet that could be the fruit. |
