Cilantro, here we go
When the cilantro goes to seed, it becomes coriander.
I filled my spice jars for the Winter. How wonderful to see my spice cupboard stocked with many of my own herbs and spices.
The remainder of the seeds were packaged for planting this years garden.
The first round of pots are in the warm greenhouse….
Cilantro tends to bolt quickly, so I will be starting more in a couple of weeks.
My goal is to have Cilantro for most of the Summer.
After all, Summer and salsa go together quite nicely.

Seed saving
Cilantro when gone to seed becomes Coriander–
or a lot more Cilantro!
I will fill a jar for the spice cupboard and store the rest in my seed drawers for Spring planting.
