Has anyone tried growing this? It's a herb widely used in Mexico in the same way as coriander.

I've got some seeds that I started a few weeks ago, but the seedlings seem to be awful spindly looking. Is this normal? Also how many plants will I need? I've only got five at the moment, but according to the bumf from RealSeeds that came with them they can grow to around three feet high, and you only need one or two leaves in a dish.

Hi
Yes, I grew this last year. Not convinced on the taste but really enjoyed the plant! Will probably throw a few on the onion bed in a few weeks.

It does indeed grow that high; just keep it in the warm for a few more weeks, and plant out when frost risk has passed if it is going outside. It'll soon fill out.

moon trial underway with onions, lettuce, tomatoes and calabrese.

Thanks Zazen999, I'll have patience and maybe sow a few more whilst I'm waiting.
