Ordered cilantro plants from Burpee - the code saved me $6.95 for shipping. They only sold them three in a group, so there are three coming. Since I didn't know which strain to get, I got this “slowest cilantro to bolt”:

Cilantro, Calypso (24550 - 3 Plants) 24550 The slowest cilantro to bolt available. $14.95

This saves me from having to go to Walmart/Lowes looking for it to come in if they ever get any.

It's dangerous for me to have Cilantro as I love the taste of it - maybe Cilantro ice cream?

I ordered some of the Sunchocola tomato seeds from Burpee. My oldest kid wanted some of the giant cantaloupe type melons she saw there and I added some of the sweet marigold seeds too.

Parks had 20 packets for $20 week before last and I loaded up on herb varieties then.

When your cilantro plants do bolt, be sure to save seeds from them. The flowers are loved by pollinators and the seeds, as I’m sure you know, are coriander. Once you have a supply of seeds you should be good to go with cilantro forever LOL. I have volunteers in my raised beds from cilantro I grew there 2 years ago. And cilantro is another plant that should be OK outdoors all winter in your courtyard outside of Houston. You should probably protect it some if the temps get under 20F though.
