I've been wondering if it can be grown here, since my coriander did wonderfully last year. Wikipedia gives this information:


"It is an herbaceous annual and cultivation of cumin requires a long, hot summer with 3-4 months with daytime temperatures around 30 °C; it is drought tolerant, and is mostly grown in mediterranean climates. It is grown from seed sown in spring, and needs a fertile, well-drained soil."

Could be a candidate for the greenhouse, or, come global warming.... but probably not at the moment.
