Cilantro + Coriander


Aren't these little white flowers on my cilantro precious? 

This is seriously some of the best cilantro I've ever had. While we were gone for 3 weeks most of it had shot up and tried to flower before we could eat it. But I've been taking tiny bunches of leaves anyways and it's so fresh!

I am letting some of it flower and seed (should be about 3 weeks from now) so I will have coriander seeds. Currently, I don't really cook with coriander and I'm  not sure why. Apparently it's great in curries and soups, which are both things I love. I also just learned that you can freeze cilantro. Who knew? 

I can't wait to have seeds to plant more for next year. 

I'm hoping the seeds I planted this week will come up in time for a fall harvest.
