    I've never had trouble keeping cilantro alive in my garden. But I've stopped growing it for two reasons.
    1. As soon as the plant is mature enough to harvest just a tiny amount, it immediately bolts and turns extremely bitter.
    2. The one small harvest I get before bolting tastes no better than what is readily available at any grocery store.
    I live in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. My region is zone 6B.
    I'm 60 years old and have gardened all my life, beginning at about age 8. Dad and Mom taught us all how to garden and how to put vegetables by for Winter.
    I love fresh herbs and have been growing them for 20 years. But there are only a few I grow currently.
    I have some very nice perennial oregano, chive, and garlic chive, which is also called Chinese leeks.
    Both chive patches appear in late Winter and are delicious year round with minimal maintenance. The oregano, which may well be marjoram, came up wild from natural seeding by birds on a side of the garden where I've never planted herbs. It requires zero maintenance and still tastes good even after blooming.
    The only annual herbs I currently plant are thyme and lemon grass. Neither of these ever turn bitter and both require zero maintenance.
    I've given up on growing others.
    Basil, which I love, is impossible to stop from bolting and is only good for compost once it does. I can get it fresh at the grocery. Parsley is the same.
    Dill, which I also love, bitters with maturity. And, again, is readily available.
    Rosemary grows much faster than I can use it and turns woody and bitter.
    Sage grows quickly too, but doesn't get too woody. And often survives Winter. But it grows bitter as the plant grows large.
    I don't eat tarragon often enough to grow it.
    Every type of mint I've ever grown is much too invasive.
    Nowadays, I only grow vegetables that I believe taste much better when homegrown. Among them are, of course, tomatoes as well as half runner green beans and yellow wax beans. I also grow curly mustard, collards, kale, and various other fresh greens. I grow carrots and onions as well. But I do reserve a fair amount of garden space for whatever my young grandchildren want to grow.
    They always want a small corn patch. This year, they asked to grow sugar baby watermelons again. My oldest grandaughter, age 7, wants to plant her own green bean patch. My grandson always wants cherry tomatoes, we call tommy toes.
    He's loved them since tasting them at age 2. He, like me, loves to pick and eat them standing at the vine.
    All my grandchildren love picking and eating blueberries and white grapes fresh from my plants and vines. Plus, this year I surprised them with strawberries.
    I love to foster their interests to give them the wonderful gift my parents and grandparents gave me.

    I do a lot of seeding this way- cilantro included. I also found that it can help extend out how long it will stay alive if you can plant it in a somewhat shady spot. Ideally, under the shadow of deciduous trees that will let the sun through early in the season (before they leaf out) and allow the cilantro to soak it up while the weather is cool....but as temps start to get warmer, the leaves slowly fill in providing more shade and keeping the cilantro cooler underneath. Then, just let it go to seed, and once it cools down again as long as they have moisture, they pop right back up in time for fall. I just did this last year myself after several years of craptastic results, and it worked great

If the tree was larger, I personally would put it on the southern side, since technically it does want the sun, but with an elderberry that makes sense to me. My elderberries don't so much create a shaded area, as a shadow, lol.

      Additionally what you can do if you are in a hot climate with temps in the 90s and 100s, or in zones 8, 9 and above, besides growing in part shade, use shade cloth over it. Try to plant it where it will just get morning sun. This way you can prevent it from bolting a LOT longer. I did this (I'm in zone 8B) and planted it in grow bags . I put them on the bottom shelf of a potting bench where they only got morning sun and had shade cloth over the potting bench and they lasted into the fall as long as I picked the flowers off in mid and late summer.

I couldn’t believe it, it was good too! So I never plant cilantro in the spring or summer.

    One trick for year round harvest is planting seed late summer in an in ground and weed free spot 4x4'. Fertilize heavy in October, one cup 13-13-13 or equivalent and again in May, plants should be 5' tall by mid June while fowering and will have a nice canopy with cool soil where seeds will sprout even in the heat. Stomp a spot down to get some sun in when you see new sprouts but not too much and you will always have some in various stages. Fertilizing at the proper times is key. Youll have to thin a bit with a hoe every fall and let the spot move itself over a foot or so every year, i just spade right next to it in August and let all the new seeds sprout to the side of it a bit.

    Cilantro outside is frustrating unless you live along a coastal area that moderates the temperature. It will be too cold here to really get it growing vigorously and then we will switch over to too hot and it will bolt as a tiny little plant that you haven't even picked anything off of yet.
    BTW a cilantro plant that gets good sized and healthy and then goes to seed is absolutely beautiful. They get maybe 3-4 feet tall and have very dainty pink and white flowers - at least the variety that I have does. Mine usually go to seed too quickly to attain a good size but I sure enjoy when it does. There are pollinators on it that I don't ever see other than on my cilantro

    Here in Canada, market gardeners will sow seeds again and again, and harvest cilantro continuously. Forget small seed packets, buy bulk cilantro seeds in the spice aisle. To avoid bolting, you should grow cilantro in the shade, and ensure that the soil stays moist. It is otherwise an easy plant to grow and if you harvest the seeds, you will never have to buy seeds again. To sow, I just press the seeds on top of the moist soil with a finger, just deep enough that they will not move.

    • @ajb.822
      @ajb.822 5 месяцев назад +3

      Good idea except cilantro is often selected specifically for leaf production and being slow to bolt, whereas coriander ( the seed) when grown for seed ( which seeds you find sold as a spice likely would be), it isn't then. So, I'd buy in bulk, sure, but from a seed provider and choose the slowest bolting types, at least for late spring and summer growing (for those of us who even can/should bother growing it in summer).

And no wonder we’re confused… when we can buy Cilantro in the grocery store most times of the year. 😳 When I think of Cilantro… I think of Summer 🌞 time. It’s the ‘wrong’ time you’re saying! I’m in Canada 🇨🇦 so I should plant the seeds outside now - I think. 🤔❄️

    I let cilantro grow as volunteers too. They know when to start growing. However, timing wise, I need to start some seeds later so the timing of a cilantro plant is in sync with making salsa. Otherwise, my early cilantro is already seeding eityh no leaves.

    My first try growing. Cilantro in Mingenew Western Australia.
    Planted in pots in late winter/spring about mid-august 2023.
    In pots, slow to grow. In summer shifted them under mulberry tree in shade. Still growing well. It's 18 March 2024, al.ost 3 weeks into Autumn.
    No signs of them bolting or goi g to seed.
    Perhaps they will stay on all winter if it's not too cold.
    I'm surpy how much it tastes like Celery

    My problem has been like 1/10 germination rate and then solo stalks that stop at like 5 inches, for months, until they bolt. Which only gives me about 2x the amount of seeds I planted lol.
    I even had some survive all of fall and winter until feb when it finally died from the new clover pressure.
    So I can grow it, and propagate it, but I can't grow enough to eat. And I can't grow enough to make coriander if I want to later plant. It's been a bummer.

    I love coriander
    And even if you call it cilantro i use it fresh and cooked
    Always keep a bundle in my fridge.
    This year i also grew them from SEED that i bought for pennies in the spice shop. Yes they germinated easily!!
    Thank you for this video

      How did they compare to ones you've grown from seed meant for growing leafy cilantro ? I'd be concerned, as supposedly it's selected for either seed or slower bolting, leaf production. That the ones sold as coriander seed would be among the worst for long-as-possible production of cilantro leaves.

    By the way, in the cilantro seeds there are two ( 2) plants therefore the seeds should be somehow split in two I do this by rolling a bottle over them!.

    I was bummed that my cilantro transplants I grew from seed were going to waste because we are heading into the summer. Then I realized that I should plant them out and if they go to seed pretty soon, I’ll enjoy the leaves I get and have plenty of seeds for fall. Also, the viewer from Mexico’s tip to grow in the shade… Imho many times these videos can be discouraging because the ideal conditions might not exist at the moment for a viewer, but there are no alternatives offered other than give up and wait six months.

    I made a change in my cilantro growing last year. I decided to plant my seeds in October to get plants in early winter. I got a few plants come up, but didn't grow as expected. However, they ended up laying flat on the ground and spreading out like a dandelion. BUT it survived both snow events here in western Arkansas and by early spring I had enough cilantro to harvest for all my Mexican meals. I also planted some seeds in early January, but not seeing a lot of growth so far.

  • @OWK000

    Last year I couldn't grow any cilantro because SOMETHING kept eating it before it got past the first true leaf or two. Very frustating. Birds I think. I finally had one plant survive into fall, but it didn't like our cold temperate California weather or the rain and it died by the first frost. Cold spring is ok, but not fall? I have got some going now that I planted just a few weeks ago, beginning of May, and I have only lost two plants to birds so far. Fingers crossed. I did presoak my cilantro seeds this time and that seemed to give me superior germination.

  • @nitrousblast1

    Very interesting video. Thank you for the information. So i have a question regarding timing. You said plant cilantro 60 days before your first frost date in the fall. In my area, south eastern Oregon my first frost date is September 13. We are getting very close to the 60 days before but temperatures are in the high 90’s and will remain that way through August. In your opinion, should I still plant cilantro around July 13. It seems way too hot now. Thank you

    • @Gardenary
      @Gardenary  26 дней назад

      You could plant now under some shade cloth or wait until closer to your frost date.

      It can start growing and almost immediately bolt if it's too warm. Through summer you'd probably have to try it indoors
