    Hello everyone, I've recently got a couple of window boxes as have been meaning to grow my own herbs for ages. So, i've started with a bit of rosemary, mint and basil, and would like to try coriander but i've heard it's notoriously hard. Has anyone got any tips on how to succeed with it?
    Look forward to learning from you all!

    Thanks for the welcomes everyone, and thanks for the link tip Marley Farley (excuse my ignorance but where's the name from? Is there some gardening connotation?). Sounds complicated to grow coriander though, I might leave it a little while til I've got my confidence up with some straightforward basil and rosemary

    Hi Magsda - good luck with your herby window boxes.
    I am growing herbs in pots for the first time this year and am amazed how often I just nip out to fetch some to put in whatever I'm making.
