Monday, Jun. 16, 2003 - 5:18 p.m. Yes, the blooming plant in yesterday�s photo was of cilantro that has been allowed to go to seed. Wantcarvel figured it out first, and was quickly followed by Weetabix, and Life-my-way. The other guesses were close (carrots , when in bloom look quite similar, Jimmyusual, and chervil has very similar flowers, Strangerlucy ) Anyway�..why so many cilantro plants , gone to seed? I have already harvested all I could possibly use for salsa making, and for use in Thai and Mexican recipes. I have it tucked away safely in the deep freeze, waiting for the day when I need its strong, pungent green-ness to use in our cooking. I think it tastes just as good after it has been frozen as long as you add it to a cooked recipe. For raw salsa- only fresh will work. I don�t have to plant cilantro anymore, because I have such a large area that comes up every spring. The area I leave for this purpose is now almost 5� x 5�, and has to be hoed and mowed back to keep it from taking up any more of the garden than it has already claimed. I stuffed three gallon-sized Ziploc� bags full with fresh cilantro back in early May, and then removed an area about 3 foot square to plant some okra (�Annie� and �Burgundy� varieties) in the now-free space. Today, I spent about 10 minutes pulling weeds that were growing all around the young okra seedlings. I would estimate that 75% of these �weeds� were more cilantro plants, spurred to growth by the removal of the old plants. So, if you are ever in the Mohall, North Dakota area, stop by. I always have far too much cilantro, and will gladly give away some to a fellow gardener/cook who asks for it� I�m out of here. Codeman will finally play his first slow pitch softball game in just a few minutes. I am curious to see how he does hitting a ball that is pitched to him underhand, and with a large arch. He is used to hitting fastballs in the low 80�s, so this should take him a little while to get the hang of��.
