That is rubbish. Have you ever looked at the gardens in other
countries?

Firstly, our climate is NOT particularly variable, let alone
"infinitely" variable. Secondly, its increasing warmth has not
made the summers significantly less maritime - the converse, if
anything.

We do have SOME overlap with South Africa and Japan, but it is
not a huge amount. This is, however, one aspect where we probably
do. I would be 90% sure that the problem with coriander (cilantro)
bolting is pretty well insoluble, because it will not spend long
at the leaf stage if the temperatures are high. However, keeping
the humidity high, and the plant well-watered and fertilised, may
help.
