I won't. Will never buy cilantro plants again. I've got the seeds planted in pot outside with net over it to keep the squirrels/birds from getting the seed.
I'VE GOT PEA PODS! I know nothing about how to grow peas but want the type pods to use in a stir fry. I found that kind in three types of bush peas good for container growing. I have one pot of each to determine which one to stay with from now on. There is one pod on each of these along with blooms on each type.
All three types are small plants but beginning to produce pods. Don't know how large the plants will get but that's one of the criteria to decide which one to stick with from now on as well as how prolific each one is. The three types are: Masterpiece Pea, Snowbird Pea, Peas in a Pot.
The Peas in a Pot plant is really small and that's because the seed was in Jiffy seed starter and only one plant barely managed to sprout in it so it's behind the others in growth. Yes, I hate Jiffy seed starter - it really screwed up my wonderful, well thought out, seed sprouting schedule. :o) I have a bag and a half left of Jiffy and I should burn it just to enjoy watching it disappear - have I said I hate Jiffy? :o)
Have you ever tried this with tomatoes?

Anyone else try removing all suckers, and leaving about three leaves on the lateral branches? Removing all branches and suckers below first fruit cluster?
I’m kind of scared to try it. In Texas, it seems like the sun would burn the tomatoes up with so little leaf protection.
The more you pick the pea pods , they more they will try to replace the pods.
TO keep a pea pod plant active is to pick the pods, which will reult in more flowering, and thus and more pods !! until they are 'spent' (lack of fertilization) , or , poor growing conditions.
That is why many people have two seed sowing seasons , once in the spring , and , another in the fall .
Save the seed plants in the fall for sowing for next year !!
