Interesting. I was planning on putting it in the shadiest spot I can find
in the veg patch this year, who knows, it may help.

As for the nomenclature, since I noticed elsewhere you are posting from the
states, I will mention I have seen the leaves sold as "coriander" in Boston,
and as "cilantro" in SF. I put it all down to regionalism.

Yawn. Enough about the name already!
