Coriandrum sativum
Source
I've never grown cilantro before.
Hell, last year was the first time I really planted herbs and actually used them in cooking. I know that seems really lame, considering I'm 35 and had never understood the importance of herbs. I already have sage, lavender, and rosemary growing beautifully outside. Next Spring I'll add this cilantro to my herb garden, as well as chives, and thyme. I had thyme this season and I loved it. Too bad the variety I had is not winter hardy. Next Spring's will be though.
Cilantro needs full sun or light shade. Apparently it will "bolt" in hot weather so I will have to watch for that. I will also need to stagger my sowing by 2-3 weeks to ensure I will have fresh cilantro all season long.
Other things I'm considering for my garden this year are Parisienne carrots, Chinese Five Color peppers, and others I haven't posted about yet. All my seeds will come from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds which is located just an hour from my home! You should check out their site. All orders come with a free packet of seeds!
Thanks for checking out what I want to grow next year. Stay tuned for more! Up next, Corbaci peppers!
