I have found cilantro to be a bit of a ..... pain.......shall we say, as opposed to most other herbs.

It’s a close kin of parsley, but unlike parsley, which can be ignored, it does need a little bit extra TLC.

It needs some sun, but what has always fascinated me about it is that unlike some of the climates where it is so popular in cuisine, it does not like heat.

Cilantro...heat...tropic countries...

I always wondered about that too. Only thing I can figure is they grow it and use it like salad greens or something—cut and come again. It won’t even do in NC.

Glad your painting iscoming along well. I got the paddles to one fan back up. It looks really cool, except that you can’t see anything but a blur of colors when it’s on. :)

Glad you got your yard mowed—neighbors can be great. Sorry about his kitty. Animals we love should live as long as we do. Sigh...in a perfect world. Got a 12 year old chi...going to tear me out of the frame when he goes.
