I’ve heard many people during classes mention the fact that they have a hard time growing cilantro. When did you try to grow it? “In June or July.” Well, thats probably the reason. Cilantro grows much easier in the cooler climates of the year. If you start it in mid-fall, it will even do well in the protected environment of a low tunnel, where you can harvest throughout the winters in our zone 6B. This particular crop of cilantro has been in the garden all winter, and still has a way to go before I’ll empty the square and replant with something different. 

For those interested, I have a first time class coming up in 2 weeks. Titled “The Doomsday Garden” 🙂 , this class is virtual. I’m hoping everything will work with the technology. The walk through went okay, but you know how things like this can go. This is the perfect time to get back into gardening. This method requires less work compared to other systems with so many other advantages. You can find information out about the class here on my blog. We’ll cover the basics of how to get your gardens up as fast as possible, and hopefully to reduce a bit of stress with the anxiety this has created for us all.
