Hi
I have grown some carrots, green onions and cilantro/coriander
and i have let some go to seed.
My problem is the coriander seeds are almost flat and turning brown they are not getting fat or round like i have seen in videos and the seeds i planted any ideas?
Also the carrots and green onions just go brown and later the flower dies and there is no sign of any seeds. i have about 8 carrots in seed and about 20 green onions in seed. Any thoughts? |

Can't abide Coriander as a herb, but it does have lovely flowers. In the 'right' circumstances it flowers easily in the first year, as do carrots and onions.
By 'right' I mean treat 'em mean and keep them dry. A plant under threat will bolt and do it's best to produce flowers and then seeds before it dies. Trouble with this is you don't get a crop and the seeds, produced under stress are not as good as those on a plant that has gone through a more normal life cycle.
I've had parsley and lettuces (and carrots for that matter) go from seedlings to bolted monsters in weeks in a dry summer. Ah remember that - a dry summer?  _________________ Be humble, for you are made of earth
