Tidy plants have large leaves and strong stems, making for an easy harvest.
Please note that all cilantro will set seed after a number of weeks, and sooner in hot/dry weather, but leaves can be enjoyed up until then. In our garden, we plant cilantro every few weeks in order to have a constant supply of leaves. Plants that have gone to seed can be left in the garden for your pollinators and then you can enjoy coriander seeds later in summer!
