Humbled by Cilantro

I probably should have read up on how to grow cilantro.  Apparently cilantro flowers pretty young in its life and, once it flowers, the leaves lose their flavor and it stops growing.

I love flowers.. normally.

There are all sorts of techniques for delaying flowering.  If I'm honest, I don't even really like cilantro that much.  It's not really worth it to me to grow something so short lived and fussy.  Apparently the dried seeds from the flower are delicious as well, so I'll probably harvest the seeds and then call it quits on cilantro for good.

Fun fact: Cilantro is the same as coriander.  Two names, same plant.
