It's always nice to learn something new and if it's about gardening...I really like to learn something new! I have wondered for a year why I can't grow cilantro. First, I learned that I planted it at the wrong time. Second, I learned that when the weather warms up above 80 degrees for several days, mature plants like greens and such think their growing time is over so they grow a seed stalk.
That's exactly what my cilantro does. It's a cool season crop so it hasn't done well when I plant it in the summer. It grows a little then sends up that seed stalk. That's called bolting.
So, just a reminder to do a little research before you start putting seeds in the ground!
