Parsley & coriander

[bethixboop]

Hi guys

I'm a complete novice at growing anything, have got herbs growing but have no idea what's what, between my parsley and coriander all my containers got mixed up a month or two back in the wind (my blowaway blew over)
I've put a pic below

Do the taste test. Parsley will taste of, well, parsley, and coriander will taste of, you guessed it, coriander

If those are the two choices, then the top one is coriander and the bottom one parsley. There's a few weeds, though, that look like either, so if you want to be sure a picture of the whole plants would help.

Coriander above and parsley below - but it could be a buttercup

I've accidentally carried parsley in for curry and coriander in for fish - that many times in fact, I now pull a leaf off and taste or sniff to be sure before taking a step towards the house.

I am with vc on this.

Top = coriander
Bottom = parsley

Coriander is a really strong smell, parsley less so, but IMO parsley tastes more peppery and earthy. I have both growing but (unintentionally) quite a long way apart. Crush a leaf, and if the smell knocks your socks off, it's coriander!
