A question from my sister:
"mine is flowering and i don't know whether to
let it continune or not. The corriander leaves taste great."
I've never grown this herb - maybe one of you can help her.

Corriander seeds are used in spicey cooking just as much as the leaves. Don't care for the leaves much myself, but love the aromatic seeds. Let them carry on so she can save the seeds to dry, roast, grind, or whatever she chooses. ;D

Or cut half back & re-grow the leaves - which are used in so many dishes. It's extremely difficult to prevent the stuff going to seed, when what you really want are the fresh leaves or roots. Easy to buy seed, but V expensive to buy leaves. = Tim

And let some `self seed`-will give a good crop next year-for some reason self sown ones seem less prone to bolting.

"Thanks - I'll try a bit of letting it self seed and cutting back for getting new leaves."
