I grow Coriander, but our Cairn Terrier eats it before I can harvest it. Strange dog...

Sandy Denny had the same problem with thyme but she didn't realise it was the dog that was eating it.

By strange coincidence our Alfie woke me at 3 o clock this morning, he was barking like mad, and when I asked him what was up, he said he thought he could see the ghost of Robin Gibb in our herb garden.

I got dressed and went out to have a look, but it was not the ghost of Robin Gibb at all, it was just a chive talking.


:doh:

Always grow Chives in a pot or tub or they will take over the garden, same as Mint does.
