Cilantro

I love growing Cilantro in my garden but it's only good for one big bunch. After I've used the bulk of the Cilantro it doesn't really grow back.

What's up with that?

Cilantro has to be re-planted every two weeks.

As an alternative to the sow-every-two-weeks strategy, try this growing method from the folks at Sunset magazine:

Loved reading the tip from Douglas Hunt. I'll try the ideas this Spring. I love using fresh Cilantro.

Do CIlantro seedlings look like that when they first sprout? I ask this because thats not what mine looks like and I am wondering if the seed envelope was mis printed

The first leaves look different, Sarah. There's a good photo here:

Douglas Hunt when should that second set of leaves being to sprout? My seedlings are pretty tall, almost outgrowing the green house they're in and all I have are the first set of longish looking leaves

Cilantro grows fast, Sarah. I don't think it should take that long for the second set of leaves to form. Are your plants getting enough light?
