Brian Campbell, Basswood Artisan Carpentry on Oct 10, 2012The "weed" may be cilantro. Cilantro leaves can vary in form so it might grow more characteristic leaves later. This might have started as a salsa garden of sorts with more than one kind of plant in there? Wouldn't hurt to wait and see... or have a taster chew on a leaf for you. ;)Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Oct 11, 2012It does look like it could be cilantro. If you don't dare do the taste test, you could rub a leaf in your fingers and then test for that distinctive smell. I don't see much life left in the second plant, but peppers' days are numbered in New York at this time of year anyway.Helpful Reply

Lulu Dubin on Oct 11, 2012Thanks. I like cilantro, so I hope you're right - it would definitely be an interesting turn of events. If I wanted to keep the cilantro but get rid of the dead pepper, what's the best way to go about that? Of course, assuming and hoping I can keep it alive...Helpful Reply

Lulu Dubin on Oct 12, 2012Yeah thanks @KMS, we've determined from the smell it's definitely not cilantro. So should we remove the bad from the good or remove the good and replant?Helpful Reply
