Cilantro? Jerry

[Guest guest]

Hi Jerry,

Cilantro has a taste of it's own. You can sun with

parsley or watercress but it is not the same flavor.

If you find dried cilantro it's very blah, doesn't

taste at all like the fresh.

I think you need a warmer climate to grow it. I'm in

Calif and it will grow in a pot on my porch. Does

well during the summer months.

It grows like dandilions durring our cool summers. I don't think it is a heat

issue. I think it is more the amound of sunlight. Durring the summers we have

up to 23.5 hours of daylight a day and 18-20 hours of direct sunshine.

I dry mine and use it all winter. It isn't the same, that is true, but it is

better than no cilantro at all.
