Cilantro doesn't require many nutrients, we usually mix a bit of compost/manure into the soil and call it good...no fertilizer normally is needed.
Once your bed is prepared, make a 1/4" depression into the soil and plant your seeds 1" apart.
After your seeds are in, cover them with a layer of fine soil, gently pat your soil and you're ready to water!
Harvest the seeds by clipping the brown, round seed heads; place upside down in a paper bag. In a few days, the round husks will dry and split in two, dropping the edible seed inside. Don’t delay seed harvest, or the weak stems will fall over.
Freshly chopped cilantro is an excellent source of potassium, is low in calories, and is good for the digestive system. It is best to use fresh cilantro in cooking since it does not dry very well. Add chopped leaves at the last minute for maximum flavor. Cilantro blends well with mint, cumin, chives, garlic, and marjoram.
Companion Plants: Spinach, Onion, Beans, Peas, Lettuce, Potato etc.
Can attract: tachinid fly aphids
Repells: spider mites, ant variety and potato beetles
Store by freezing the leaves in cubes of water or oil; you can dry them, too, but they lose a lot of their flavor tif dried, which explains why growing your own is far better than buying it from the spice rack.
Store coriander seeds in a cool cabinet or the refrigerator. Use them in curry, poultry, relishes (chicken, steak, fish etc., salsa and cucumber or zucchini pickles!
*These are heirloom plant seeds. Be sure to keep some seeds for next sowing.
