-- sounds a very good idea, but I don't' have huge garden so basically I know what I am growing. I just grow what I like to eat. ( I wish if I can grow some chicken and meat but yah doesn't work this way) . well, they are very big parsley seed. they look like parsley seeds but they are probably 3 times as big. I will sow them next week and see in a few months what are they if they ever grow. ---------------

Gardening throws up many different things at us. The thing is to think about it from a different angle. All you can do is what you say, try planting them. I just tried planting seeds from a hybrid corn variety, they say they might not throw true to type. I had bicolour corn and yes I grew yellow corn, whitish corn and the yellow and white mix and I don't think it tasted as good as the hybrid. So I won't do that again. All about trying and learning.

Various attempts to grow coriander in pots in Adelaide to no avail, could you please advise on growing conditions, watering, soil type and prep, fertiliser etc. Thank you very much

Goolwa SA....you can plant in pots as the temperature of summer cools down....as in right now...(march 2022)....they will grow for ages from now before going to seed..they seem to love the temperatures cooling down..but plant enough because you will only get a short growing period if planted in September because as the days begin to heat up again they will bolt to seed quickly...keep them moist and use some thrive soluble fertiliser when watering occasionally to keep them at their best....I use potting mix and compost and some neutrog rapid raiser as they love food....this year i tried to grow some in summer in pots in between rainwater tanks to keep them cool but they bolted to seed quickly even though it wasnt a hot summer here

I never had any luck with this plant until I ignored recommendations to grow in sun. Once I grew in partial shade, it flourished and stopped bolting. It only likes full sun in cool weather. Also snails love it so I raise my pots off the ground.

Read the notes here, I suggest you use seedlings. Good friable sandy loam soil, not sand not clay. A light fertilising and my suggestion don't grow it in pots. If in pots PAY attention to it ever day.

I say do NOT start with seedlings. That is one of the biggest mistakes you can make with coriander. Transplanting shock often causes them to bolt to seed. Sow seed directly where it is to grow. Partial shade often helps in hotter climates. ( It says that here - www.gardenate.com/plant/Coriander?zone=2)

I had great success in 2019 with coriander in Adelaide. now mid of January I have 2 coriander plants ( already bolting) and they started giving me seeds. The STRANGE thing is both of them gave very weird looking seeds, the seeds look more like parsley seeds!! I am 100% sure they started as coriander so no chance I mixed the seeds up when planting. The other thing I should mention they grow very close to Parsely plants, so is it possible to be cross-pollinated? or is it a different variety of coriander? my plan is to harvest the seeds and plant them again and see what will grow! but I wish if someone can tell me what is going on.

I record what I plant - date, crop, variety, fertiliser I used etc. You could take the seeds to a nursery or try looking up on the net what different seeds look like. I purchased the thick stalked celery seedlings from Bunnings for 6 years and every time they grew into open heart, thin stalks, hollow inside, I believe they were Italian parsley. Have never grown them since. Maybe start with some new seeds.
