Coriander

[S and G]

My piggies love coriander. Sadly I only have to look at it and it wilts away (even if in the pots). Any tips to keep extending the life of the stuff?

You could put in a cup of water and stick the plastic over the top, then put it in the fridge

Our piggies love coriander too, I can never keep a pot alive, and failed miserably at growing any this summer.
I buy a giant bunch in the supermarket, trim the ends, and give it a drink in a glass of water, before popping it in the fridge. This mostly seems to work.

I agree with the other commenters - I do it with parsley and coriander, would probably work for any herbs though!
Just fill a glass with water, add the bunch of herbs in the glass like a slightly rubbish bouquet of flowers and fully cover with either the bag it came in or plastic sandwich bag and stick in the fridge- lasts for weeks!

I trim the stems, rinse and keep in a storage container which has a drip tray.... either a salad storage box.... or bacon box

I bought one of these from Lakeland and it works really well. It's quite large and i keep herbs and lettuce in it and they last for ages and stay crisp and fresh.
