Cilantro - You Either Love It Or Hate It

I love it.
It did the best in Spring and then when I tried to resow in the summer, it wasn't happy.Even the plants that resowed themselves didn't do as well.
It bolts super fast as soon as the weather warms up. I even tried the "slow-bolt: kind, and it just wouldn't cooperate with me. But I had lots of it at first, and loved it, and then I let it go to seed. The flowers smell like a little bit of heaven and the bugs fly around it in swarms. I dried the seeds and got some of the most fragrant coriander that I had ever had. Maybe I will try and make an oil from it next year. My friend Homirah has been teaching me how to cook some basic Afghan recipes, and my coriander sent us over the moon!
