i live in ny (zone 7), i planted some cilantro seeds in a pot and kept it
outside on my patio. it has been 2 weeks now and i dont see any sign of any
new shoots. i put the seeds about 4-5 " deep, could it be that i would have
put the seeds too deep in the soil........ please could someone tell me what
cilantro seeds need to germinate and grow.

The sensible approach to disease and insect control is to grow sturdy crops in a healthy environment."

Yes, the most a seed should be planted (corn, beans peas or sunflowers
come to mind) is about an inch. I'd plant cilantro at a half inch or
less.

WAY too deep! For Cilantro, no more than 1/2 inch deep.
