Bought 6 plants from transplant from Rainbow Gardens.  I think we bought plants that were too mature.  We also weren't very sure of when to harvest the broccoli so we let some of the broccoli grow too long and flower.  Christina says to give up on broccoli, but I'm going to try again in the fall planting from seed to see if we get a better yield.

Final Harvest: April 11th

Cilantro - Coriandrum sativum
Burpee 1.7g seeds.  $1.07

Use leaves (cilantro) in Oriental, Mexican and Mediterranean dishes.  Use the mature, citrus flavored seeds (coriander) in sausages, marinades, curry powder and pastries.  Annual.

SOW outdoors in full sun after danger of frost.  In frost-free areas, sow from fall to early spring.  Sow seeds thinly and cover with 1/4"of fine soil.  Firm lightly and keep evenly moist.  Seedlings emerge in 14-21 days.  Thin to sand about 12" apart.

Full Sun
1/4 in. depth
12 inches spacing (1 per square foot)
12-28 inches tall

I planted the cilantro seeds in 4 of the cinder block holes.  I didn't really have the space to plant any directly in the SFG so I'm using the holes for some of the herbs.  All 4 sprouted but something happened to 1 of the plants and it didn't mature.  I didn't count how many seeds I planted in each location like I should have.  It is obvious looking at the 3 plants that some had more seeds than others. I'm crossing my fingers on this one hoping that all goes well.  I love cilantro, and I have killed a cilantro transplant in the past.

Dates:
Seed planting - Late February/ Early March
Sprouts - March
