Coriander, right? Is it me being useless, or is it the Thompson's Gazelle of the herb world? If it's not being attacked by slugs, it's a mob of aphids and/or deciding to grow around corners out of spite.

On the other hand, it could just be that my fingers are too solder-burned to be green these days. While I've coped with being a sad disappointment to my parents over many things, being able to kill plants with a single glance is a little too much to bear.

It's always the stupid things that bite a chap in the arse like that.

Ok, fer serious now--aphids? Try this:

The peppermint kind works great against aphids. So does the lavender. Give the coriander a good dousing and aphids vanish. The soap washes away without residue so no badness for the belly OR for the earth. Double edged sword, here--it also washes away with every watering and rain. It must be reapplied daily. Just how big is your coriander patch? If it's not big, it might be worth your time.
