I had cilantro in clay pots last year too and it didn’t grow too good. Maybe it’s just too hot for that here. I know some Spanish, but I can’t sing so I won’t be in the choir any time soon.
My friend up the street has some in the ground, and it looks much better than mine. I think it needs more room. Cilantro likes heat, but it doesn’t like full sun; maybe I can hide it under a rose bush.
My parsley is a huge success, so you’d think I could grow cilantro!
