Cilantro revisited - again:
I have planted Cilantro seed. Had a ceramic (plain, not glazed), pot of about one gallon with saucer with it and decent surface area. It had some kind of potting soil in it as I saw vermiculite bits in there. It’s been sitting in a corner of the covered deck for several years. I stirred that up, wet it completely down to get water through it, stuck a couple of Jobe’s spikes down in it and topped it with an inch or so of new potting soil mix.
Went by directions and planted seed 1/2 inch deep over the top. Put the pot close to roof so it will stay in shade most of the day. I’m not giving up on Cilantro. So, added a pot, at least 112 containers out there now.
After shade sets in later today will transplant several Tromboncino squash into big pots.
greeneyes, there has to be a way to grow Cilantro in a pot at my house. I am willing these seeds to grow and will offer free counseling to them if they have personal problems. :o)
For all you chili pepper lovers, here’s an interesting article, and also a FR post of it. They’ve finally found the area in Mexico where they were first domesticated.

The plants are a little confused by the sudden change in temperatures from spring back to winter. However, the pansies continue to bloom prolifically. Shoots for the lily of the valley and lilies continue to pop out of the ground. Happy Easter to all!
