Cilantro Coming Up
Posted on May 4, 2024 8:00 AM by Gerry Trout
 
And can you ever have too much cilantro?  We cannot.
 
I sowed coriander seeds in February, and this is what we have now.  There are enough good size leaves to start harvesting daily, and enough baby plants to keep us going for a couple months.
 
Psst…this section of cilantro is about 5 feet long.  It is gorgeous.  I will show you again when it gets taller.
 
Growing cilantro is a two-fold pleasure.  The fresh leaves are called cilantro, and are delicious in everything, and the seeds are called coriander.  Coriander seeds can be ground and used as a spice (also delicious in just about everything) or saved and replanted to grow more cilantro.  
 
I haven’t bought seeds for cilantro in years.  I just keep replanting the seeds that my plants give me.  
 
 
I AM A HAPPY GARDENER!!!
