I think I've found a good spot for the pot--only gets morning and late afternoon sun.

Have also been told to trim the plant fairly often.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

P.S. For the beer guys, just had Alaskan's IPA. Pretty damn tasty.

They flower too early. Easier just to buy from store.

I havent had much success growing cilantro or parsley. For some reason i cant grow leafy vegetables/herbs.

I suck at growing lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, parsley and especially bad at cilantro. Spinach has been good to me though.

Cilantro won't grow in So Louisiana in the summer. Too hot down here not matter how much you water it.

Try to find some Vietnames cilantro, it will grow here in the heat. It looks different but has the same, maybe stronger flavor.

I tried cilantro for the first time this year. I knew going in that it was a long shot once the weather got warm. It bolted very quickly--started flowering middle of last week. I picked/used/gave away most of it this weekend. I will try it again in the fall.
