Once you have a stand of it up, let it flower and go to seed. As long as you let it go to seed every year, you will have cilantro easily in the spring. It likes to self seed.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-55092554309438756572012-03-03T18:51:15.717-05:002012-03-03T18:51:15.717-05:00I really want to grow cilantro this year!

My son is autistic and our doctor recommend it for him. I also had many amalgam filling and need cilantro. Is it hard to grow it from seeds?SunnyBeachJewelryGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04683568097864626093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-71552260547290494042012-03-02T18:04:14.497-05:002012-03-02T18:04:14.497-05:00Hello!

Cilantro re...Laura, It does bolt and reseed itself. Cilantro really hates hot weather so bolts when it gets hot. But it comes up early in the spring and I usually get a good harvest before it flowers. I can never get it to grow in the summer. But until the end of June I'm usually harvesting it. Rarely can I get a stand to grow in the fall, but I often try. I have to have a really cool summer for cilantro to get a start before fall starts. Shade helps a lot, but usually it just isn't worth the effort except as a spring crop.<br /><br />The ones that are getting espaliered are two figs (brown turkey and paradisio) and a Green Gage plum. The figs are just going straight up, about a foot apart (if I can make them do that). The plum I'm just going to let it go free form, but I want it to be flat against the fence. I suppose I ought to make pretty patterns, but I'm not sure I'm good enough to do that. I'll just let it go fan shaped fairly naturally. The hard part will be keeping it in bounds. It gets 16' high but I don't want it over 6'. So I'll have to keep it well pruned. I might have to root prune it occasionally. I hate doing that. I also have two peaches and two apples in other parts of the yard, but they are growing as dwarf trees.<br /><br />Crafty Cristy, I don't know at all what I'm doing with the espalier. I've never done it before, but I wanted the fruit and that was the space I had. But I'll give it my best shot. Who knows it might even work.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-59816234485718818082012-02-27T09:41:07.293-05:002012-02-27T09:41:07.293-05:00MMM... cilantro is definately a family favorite he...MMM... cilantro is definately a family favorite here.
