- Coriander seeds make fragrant additions to potpourri.
To grow coriander, sow seeds directly into beds as soon as the
danger of frost has passed. The planting should be located in
full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. Do not overfertilize
coriander, as high nitrogen will result in plants with decreased flavor.
- Parsley is rich in vitamins A and C. Start some seed indoors
now for later transplanting to a sunny corner of the vegetable garden.
- Pick a permanent spot for herbs in the garden.
Many of them will come up year after year.
- A good, salt substitute for anyone who wants to restrict
sodium intake is a blend of equal parts dried basil, dill, lemon balm,
marjoram, mint, parsley, rosemary, thyme and a few dashes of
Hungarian paprika. The mixture will keep indefinitely in a dark
glass or ceramic container.
