Just a few questions pertaining to coriander: 1. Please advise what sort of fertiliser is best for growing coriander? 2. Compared to the coriander which I have seen in the vegetable markets, mine appear to be a lot shorter. I will be keen to know what is the secret of growing those nice & long coriander plants that we see in the markets. If it is long & slender like those that we see in the markets. Are there different varieties of coriander? For the coriander which has been seen at the markets, I was wondering what sort of support would be required to prevent them from toppling over.
