re: Trying my hand at growing cilantro again this year.

What he said. I grow it but only in my fall garden and it does very well.

I have rosemary and thyme in big pots that have been growing for ten years. You need good soil with well draining pots for most herbs . My basil seems to do better in the ground.

In a pot I take a piece of a broken terra cotta pot and partially cover bottom drain hole then add a few inches of gravel then the potting soil then a thin layer of crushed pine straw on top to keep the rain from packing it.
