Hi all, been trying to learn more about gardening and the gardening community lately. I admit I've got a lot to learn! So hello from Baton Rouge -- looks like we've got some fellow Louisianians here as well?
Welcome to GardenStew gardenmonkey, great to have you along. Hope you can tell us about your hobbies etc...
Hi there gardenmonkey and WELCOME to our forums from Scotland. :-D Jump right in - we're a friendly bunch here who love to get to know new folks.
Hi Monkey, yes, there are alot of gardeners from your area here, great people who know their gardening stuff. You definitely came to the right place to learn & share gardening experiences!
Hello gardenmonkey, I am in Livingston Parish about 30 miles, if that far, from Baton Rouge. Looking forward to getting to know you better. LSU has a great ag center and a great website for learning more about gardening in our area, and there's some pretty smart cookies on this forum, so welcome to the Stew.
Hi cajunbelle, nice to meet you. I just got my Master's degree from LSU last month! I've been in touch with some folks at the AgCenter about doing some web site work with them for 4-H. To be honest I haven't really considered even keeping plants before since I'm usually too busy (lazy) to keep up with them, but lately I've been obsessed with cilantro/coriander and have been considering trying to grow some myself. I'll look through the forums to see if anyone else has made some cilantro-related posts...
I live in Arizona and cilantro/coriander is a very popular herb for salsa. I planted it in my garden the first year we moved to this house. I never seem to get all the seeds at the end of the season so it comes up in the spring. It's like a prenniel here. It reseeds itself. I just go to the garden and cut cilantro if I want it. Otherwise it grows into tall plants with coriander seeds. I use those in a peppermill with black pepper on just about anything I cook that calls for pepper. I don't know about Louisiana though but there are lots of people from that area on the forum. Good luck! Dooley
