Grow coriander and dill for frequent harvests over a long period

I share ways to enjoy tender leaves for much of the year, using the first sowing in February to show the pattern of growth, until they Flower in early summer. Sow again in May and above all in late summer for harvests in autumn, even in winter undercover.
The coriander variety which I show here is called Cruiser.

To say I like this post is a complete understatement.. no cut away shots of dogs or moody music.. just FACTS.. Love it.

Finally a video that shows the whole process! This guy is a legend. Thank you!

[violetxoxox]

This was really helpful! I’m always frustrated that most seed-starting videos don’t show the later RESULTS. Just showing the very first step where seeds get put into dirt isn’t helpful to me, because anyone can do that. I want to know (and SEE) what SHOULD be happening days, weeks, even a month or two after so I can tell if my seeds are coming along the way they should. A video like this lets me know that I should have a fair amount of growth in two weeks and if my trays still have none at that point, something went wrong. THAT’S what I want to learn when I watch these sort of videos. So thank you, this was perfect!

I am enjoying this series of videos covering planting prep, seeding transplant, to harvest VERY much.

I'm crazy about your vegetable gardening tips and innovative growing experiments! I live in a tiny cottage at a retirement home, so I grow vertically and it's utterly astounding how many vegetable and small fruit varieties I've been able to grow in my little back yard. I use your no dig method in my pots and wall containers. Thank you so much for sharing all this with us.

I have always sown them directly.. this is an eye opener ... saves space .. only strong ones are sowed .. harvesting outer leaves for continued harvest. Thanks for sharing Charles

[freesaxon]

Very much in the spirit of how gardening programs used to be, great!

[Sssmaug]

Greetings Charles ☺ I've been gardening for decades, too, & have absorbed many warnings about planting deep for fear of the dread "damping off". I know tomatoes & their ilk respond well to deep planting -- but I've been so surprised to see how hugely successful the method is with tiny, delicate seedlings such as the herbs in this video & the likes of salad greens & beets in previous ones. The firming up, too - wow - things are going to change around here! 😀 Cheers, take care & thank you from chilly Canada! 🙋

[JohnMartin-ohbf]

Complete no-nonsense video.
Excellent.

[lvyn]

This is amazing Charles! Thank you for these excellent tips and the demonstration.

We use coriander & dill a lot in traditional Indian cooking so I am hoping for a luscious, dense bed like this. I always find that my coriander bolts very early on - which I don't ENTIRELY mind as the seeds are also used religiously in cooking. But I have a lot of space in our garden so will be trying your method for the first time (also growing dill for the first time) and am really hoping for the best!

The one thing that everyone else multi-sows, Charles prefers to plant a single plant per module! Coriander! I will try it your way too...

[TheFunctionalForce]

Such a detailed video, thank you Charles! Coriander is abundant in South American cuisine (where I’m from) and, for me, is the queen of all herbs. It’s comforting (childhood memories of grandma’s food) and I want it in all my dishes! 😅 it’s not easy to find fresh, organic and without a silly plastic box and wrapping here in Germany, so this late summer I’m so wings it for the first time and I hope to get as much as you! (I also adore dill, so bonus for me!) 💛💛🙏🏼🙏🏼

Omg...I've never seen such strong cilantro!! Normally when I buy from the store, the stems are so thin and fragile within a few days its dead. This is amazing. I'm addicted to cilantro. I need more!

[squange]

Very different to some videos on growing coriander, but so effective. I always failed with coriander, but just before we moved, I got masses of them, and I’m guessing it’s because they were growing in the shade. On the last day of our move, I picked lots for use in our next house. I shall definitely try this method. Thank you for all the helpful videos.

[HomesteadHopeful]

I simply can not wait to implement some of your multi sewing techniques. I love how you thickly sow in flats then prick out. This is new to me, so I. Ant wait to give this a try since my set up is quite small and can not accommodate starting too many seeds all at once, but with your methods, it seems as if I could be much more efficient. 2021 is going to be a great year in the garden!

[charlotteinnocent]

Glad I'm not the only e who sees the biggest benefit from planting beet to be the leaves for salad!

[gaborsimic]

This is simply wonderful. Thank you Mr Dowding, for sharing these growing guides. Much appreciated.

[gosiabernat]

Thank you for all your complete films, very educational, helpful and inspiring. I appreciate your dedication and passion.

[gardentrix]

I have that same little green tool for pricking out and making holes. Have had it for over 20 years and it is by far my favourite and most well-used garden tool!

[PetalsonthePavingSlabs]

Happy new year Mr Dowding, hope you continue to give us these great videos in 2018, thank you!
