Great to hear a mention of herbs on the recent BBC Gardener's Question Time. Not only how to successfully grow Coriander but also an easy indoor alternative which is Vietnamese Coriander. We can assure the questioner moving to Cromarty will have few problems with the Black Isle coastal microclimate. Anything that happily grows at our nursery and garden will thrive only 5 miles along the road.
