Cilantro

Also, once it starts to bolt, the flavor gets stronger and the stems get tougher. Since I don't care for the leaves AT ALL, I would want it to bolt quicker. Let it bake in the sun if that's gonna get the seeds coming. My problem is I have no clue what we're talking about. Never grown before, so one seed could be the size of a pumpkin seed or microscopic petunia seeds. It could have a habit like dill with dozens of seeds per floret and a dozen florets per plant. I will squeeze in what I can--yes I am limited by land and what I'm willing to maintain. Have to check on the growth habit--don't know what spacing they prefer. You can buy the whole seeds in some spice markets, or you can buy a package of seeds. Either way, you'll be able to get a good look at what you'll be harvesting in a couple months. The seeds look like little grayish-brown balls perhaps 3 mm in diameter. Ray |
