Judy Cilantro ...Thank you Judith....was: hello and here's a recipe

[Guest guest]

That is very interesting Rosetalleo (Rose?)

 

I feel very inspired to start growing herbs.  Perhaps I will walk to the Indian

store and buy some coriander seeds.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I am not Judy...but I grow a lot of cilantro. There is a slow bolting one, and

that one produces the most leaves, and it takes a long time for it to go to

seed. If you plant the coriander seed from the packs you get at Indian spice

stores, you get the fast bolting one. It goes to flower pretty fast, and then

seeds. Also, there are other cilantro varieties that are grown just for leaves,

Delfino and Caribe cilantro are two types i will be trying in the winter.

Culantro is related and is much stronger, coarser and does not require cool

weather.

is : Are they exactly the same?  I mean is one the leaves and the other the

seeds?  Or they different versions of the same herb ( like Granny Smith Apples

vs. Red Delicious )
