| I have personal experience with Nichol's Garden Nursery in Albany OR. I have been happy with everything I have bought from them--that was all in person, but their mail orders have a great reputation too, from what I have heard. A few of their products I especially liked were Corsican mint, Thai basil, rosemary, two varieties of sage, apple mint, oregano (all plants) and also some lavender oil.

| Culantro is not generally sold in regular grocery stores unless they serve a large hispanic population. Search out your nearest latino market. Usually they will have culantro. I have also found it in asian supermarkets. It might be fun to try to grow some. Thanks for the tips Yeti. I've been looking for corsican mint to plant between our paving stones for quite a while.

| Try an Asian market. We have a large Vietnamese community here in the New Orleans area. My Vietmanese friend said it is an regular staple on their home table. He also said his mom always has it in the garden. |
