I LOVE Cilantro! Thank you for this vido. This year I am trying growing on my deck which has shade cloth on one side. It still get sun at about 3: 00 til sundown, but it is coming up! Something I have never had it do before when growing in the raiseed box. I hope the cooler mostly shade will keep it happy.
Now PLEASE teach me how to grow Parsnips! I just can't get that to germanate no matter what!

I was thinking to repot my coriander, but came back after being away for 3 days and noticed plants are have started to bolt - I'm in the Uk and we've just had 30C weekend - not our usual summer! So thank you so much for the tips, I'm glad I saw your vid before I did anything. I think I will cut half back and let the rest bolt and then use the seed for cooking and replanting - thanks again so much

My poor cilantro keeps flopping over. I read that its because the plant is getting too warm so I took it out of direct sunlight and its still doing it. It doesnt seem to be damaging to the plant its just annoying. I got the plant from a local garden center type business. This is my very first year gardening and Im using this year as a test run. I do love cilantro. I eat it like lettuce.

I find that with every new leaf of cilantro that sprouts, the flavor and aroma decreases. I harvest it when it is only a few inches tall. You only need 4 or 5 leaves to get the same amount of flavor as a whole handful later one, plus the stems are not as hard. Just keep sowing seeds and treat them like mirco greens. I let a few go to seed for harvesting.

I planted seeds with other seeds around a very small pond in San Antonio TX years ago. It grew like crazy spreading into the grass. Neighbors could smell it when I mowed. In Dallas I cant get it to grow at all except for some that found a pot two winters ago and it grew really well until we got that super freeze in February 2020.

I LOVE cilantro as does my little parrot. So I buy it for both of us. But my dear hubby cant stand it. Hes one of those that think it tastes and smells like a stale wash cloth! Lol Im going to try growing it again even though its one of the least expensive produce at the store, it would be great to have my own in my cut and go.

Awesome info! Here in Missouri we had a super hot quick welcome to heat this past may. 100 pure sun. My cilantro bolted very quickly. Was able to harvest twice but now more flowers up top but still producing leaves on bottom. I clip the top off and am still harvesting from the bottom!

Cilantro is great to grow in small pots. I just start a new one every month or so, and with pots, you can move them around your property to avoid too much heat. And I just let them bolt and go to seed. They look nice when they flower, and you can use the seeds to replant.

Before I watched the whole vid I was gonna sayHave you ever cooked with the fresh cilantro seeds! Omg the fragrance is incredible! Take a seed and pinch it between your fingers and take a whiff. Deli!
Question: can you prevent the bolt in the same way with arugula?

I love bolted coriander. I use the whole thing. Seeds for spice and planting. The stems and roots for stocks and soups, especially pho. Im from Southeast Asia so I love it. Add a little bit to boiled chicken (the Hmong way) to enhance the broth flavor.

I am surprised that you didn't mention two additional ways of growing cilantro. They are: growing it indoors away from the heart of the summer, and growing hydroponically. year round. Both these ways significantly delay or totally prevent bolting.

Great video, very informative. The one thing you did not mention is the root, Corriander roots are great for cooking! Just wash, chop small, and throw into soups or stews or any dish you like. There is no part of this plant you can't eat.

Do you have any recommendations for us folks who live in colder climates where cilantro will pretty much ONLY grow in high summer?
We dont get out of chances of night time cold snaps to the end of April, and by October we see frost.

I harvest a plant at a time and use the roots to make curries or curry pastes. I'm in the tropics, its the dry season rn and it's growing very well. I use a lot of coriander seeds in cooking so I'm looking forward to the bolting!
