Durban coriander is very tasty and fragrant. The coriander we buy in Cape Town has no flavour and no taste ! Any idea why ? I just throw it away. Durban is sub tropical, and Cape Town is Mediterranean. Thanks, Jeremy Anderson, Cape Town.

Kwazulu-Natal receives more annual rainfall than that of the Western Cape. Their average annual temperatures are 21 degrees celsius and 14 degrees celsius respectively. East of 25 degree longitude(KZN), soils have formed under wet summers and dry winters. The weather and soil types are the main reason why grapes aren't as successfully grown in KZN as they are in the Western Cape. It all boils down soil type and weather.
