Experienced grower's notes on Cilantro

I've been growing plants seriously for over fifteen years and Cilantro remains a reliable favourite. For anyone starting out: the most critical thing is harvesting regularly to prevent plants going to seed. Everything else follows from that.

powdery mildew on basil in cool damp conditions is the challenge that trips up most beginners and some experienced growers too. I've been growing mine in a hanging basket with trailing herbs like thyme for three seasons now and the results are consistently good. aromatic foliage that intensifies in heat is what makes it worth coming back to year after year. peak harvest productivity through summer is when I show it off — it earns its place fully then.
