"That Don't Impress Me Much"

I love cilantro. I think it is tied with basil as my all time favorite herb. I often use it to spice up my Mexican dishes so I was thrilled to pick up a few plants to have growing right outside my window for whenever I had a fancy for some cilantro. Well. Turns out once you cut your cilantro, the plant is totally finished. It won't grow back vivaciously and voraciously like basil and mint. For this one instance only, it seems like it is better to buy the herb than to grow it yourself.


Goodbye cilantro plants. May you RIP in guacamole heaven.

    once the flower bloom at the top, the plant will stop producing the edible leaves...

    if you trim before that you can prolong it a little, but you can't cut the size pieces you may get in the store, and expect it to grow back to where it was.
