Any advice how to keep it ? Keep it in the fridge but it keeps going limp.. bought a bag just yesterday and its gone limp ...
 
Don't put it in the fridge. It doesn't seem to like cold. I had this problem with mine too. I keept it on a shelf now. Mine used to get soggy and disgusting.
 
Yes so does mine ,great out of the pack then goes floppy!
Put it in a dish of water to liven it up this normally works with lettuce leaves , my pigs don't mind it floppy ,I buy a pack a day though from aldi it is 35p they can scoff a, pack between them between 8 , I think that's okay?
Have you thought of growing it as it can be grown in pots in the house and it can go outside after the frost. If it gets established in your garden it can be covered over winter ,I have some in a pot but it was sewn late summer so didn't get established.
I am planning a guinea pig veg garden this year ,as the French beans are so easy to grow and the dwarf plants look really pretty ,can be planted between flowers or anywhere really.
 
i will leave it somewhere cool then and not the fridge... I am useless at growing ! i did try and grow some dill but it got infested by flies ..... aldi price is good but i am not that close to one and lidl don't always have it.. tesco never have dill ! so i usually get from morrisons ..
 
:D I put my parsley in a jug of water. (None of mine like Coriander.) I look for a good bunch with long thick stalks and crisp leaves. Parsley does not seem to like strong light and goes yellow on the kitchen windowsill.
 
Coriander keeps well in the fridge if you put the stems into a cup of water and then pop a plastic bag over the top of the whole lot, to make a little greenhouse. You might need to freshen the water after a few days but it keeps for a good couple of weeks this way (and to be honest it tends to be gone by then. I don't have guinea pigs yet but I do make a lot of curry!)
