Cilantro Fail

If I knew then what I know now I probably wouldn't have planted cilantro, or I would have done it right.  Apparently cilantro bolts in the blink of an eye.  It also hates the heat.  So now it has bolted and I don't get to use cilantro in my tacos and guac.

I've learned that the way to have a constant supply of cilantro is to plant seeds (as they do not like to be transferred so much as seedlings) every 4 to 6 weeks.  Now I know.

The upside is that I can attempt to harvest corriander which is the fruit/seed the comes from cilantro.  Now I have to find a good Indian recipe should the corriander come through for me.
