> I just trim off the outer/upper sprigs. =Mark, Thanks for the info. Here's a crappy photo of my 2 plants: http://www.fototime.com/5735DFFE7A11C9E/standard.jpg My deck trellis is poor background. Oh well.... Mike Benson brought some awesome cukes to OF last year and I'm growing several varieties this year trying to do as well as he did. I love cukes! Thus the strings in the background to support them until get to the top of the trellis. Armenian Yard Long, Chelsea Prize and one from the German seed bank that although seeds were over 10 years old is kicking butt! Planning to can some salsa tomorrow so the cilantro will get a haircut. jt ----- Original Message ----- From: =Mark To: JohnT ; chile-heads@globalgarden.com Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 9:51 AM Subject: Re: [CH] Last Night's Dinner: Chipotle Shrimp Scampi On Tue, 20 May 2008 09:08:27 -0500, JohnT wrote Growing cilantro for the first time this year. > Beautiful plants, but don't know how to harvest it yet. > I just trim off the outer/upper sprigs. If you don't trim them back fairly often, they'll bolt and go to seed... -- =Mark http://www.exit109.com/~mstevens -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
