“cilantro” shoot, that reminds me I don’t have any

Oh yeh Marcella thats a required green herb in Tx. They grow fairly easy from seed and now is the time to plant it. When they get a little mature try to shade them partially or away from the hot afternoon sun later on since cilantro tends to bolt real quick in heat. I'm on a fish taco kick lately so fresh picked cilantro is a key 'fixin' to add. Go get you some.

Nothing stops cilantro from bolting. When it looks like it's going to start bolting, I plant more. I plant cilantro 4-5 times a year.

Similar in flavor to cilantro and very interesting and pretty is papalo. There are two types. I like the one that looks like a tiny aspen type tree. The leaves are round. It is quite pungent and not for everyone but cilantro lovers should give it a try.
