Hi There, like all the other comments, my coriander has started to flower. I bought the herb already grown so have had some good leaves. Do I now just cut it off at the base and plant some new seeds or wait for the new laves to grow through. The pot is getting sun from morning until about 3 in the afternoon. I am watering every second day. If I don't cut it off, how do I collect the seeds from the plant itself? Many thanks

you could always just let it go to seed, and have free seed. Seems a shame to cut it, when you can just let it self seed where it is, and save the expense of buying new.
