Sue cooking a curry tonight has prompted me to mention something that has
happened on our allotment this year. Early in 2011 we planted some coriander
seeds (for leaf!) and they grew as usual and went to seed quite quickly as
usual. Because we didn't need the ground we left them and on pulling them up
in the autumn the seeds scattered across the plot. We now have a beautiful
green coriander sward on that part of the plot, it's growing very slowly and
has got to about 6inches tall so far, looking like a green manure crop. It
does not seem to have been affected by the couple of frosts we have had.
Maybe it's best planted in the autumn, it will not go to seed until the
summer comes so we will get months of use.
