Growing Coriander
Coriander is a fantastic herb for the kitchen, it has so many uses and tastes amazing. This superb little herb is ideal for growing in containers or on the windowsill, however you will have to use a pot which is at least 12 inches deep to allow for the long taproot.
Below I have provided you with a few simple steps to follow which will ensure you have no problems growing your own coriander.
1). Sow seeds half an inch deep after all danger of winter frosts has passed. It will not be long before the seeds begin to grow, once they are large enough to handle thin the seeds to 4 inches apart.
2). Keep a close eye on the young seedlings as the soil needs to be continually damp however once the plants establish they will need little water.
3). If you want to harvest the leaves harvest the entire plants once they are 6-7 inches tall.
4). If you are looking to save the seeds you will have to wait a while longer, the seeds will ripen at the end of the summer. Cut the whole plants down and hang them upside down to dry.
Let’s get growing!
