Fresh cilantro seeds germinate quickly so let some plants go to seed. Mine germinated on my windowsill in 3-4 days.

Yay! Love gardens. I’ll cross my fingers that the cilantro gets happy.

Looks yummy! I finally got most of my plants in the ground this weekend (still have basil, the last of the potatoes, and various seeds left). Careful about letting the mint go to seed. I had planted some lemon balm in a pot in the ground like you did with your mint, and while the clump is still in the pot, it dropped seed last year and I have new lemon balm plants coming up everywhere! Up to 30ft away in some places.

Andrea, kudos to you for persevering with your garden. I am useless at coriander (cilantro) too, although I grow it in a pot on my windowsill. I have never grown it from seed though and usually buy a plant and just try and keep it alive as long as possible.

I so enjoy spring planting and then I tend to be so nutty I go check the plants several times a day like they’ll have grown enough that I could see it I’ve always had difficulty with cilantro, just never got it to do. My neighbor grows it like a weed. Just can’t figure.
