    Well, I'm having a lot of success with Coriander, the others I don't have room for!! But will probably try leeks next year,

    I grew loads of coriander from seed on my window sill last year. Its really very bushy when it gets going. Gets thirsty too.

    Hiya,

    I have grown Coriander as i love it in salads and other cooking requirements. Let me know how you get on with the vedge and i may be brave enough to try next year. My 16 year old loves cucumbers, he will quite literaly sit with a whole one and munch it right up during a film (the boy is in the top 5% in England for physics and math - could it be due to his intense love of cue's, the mind boggles, he's been at them since the age of 5) [​IMG]
