Cilantro Tips - Fall Planting, Transplants & Companion Planting With Container Peas - TRG2016
Tips, Tricks
Follow me on Instagram for 60 Seconds or Sow videos and Gardening Tips... https://www.instagram.com/therustedgarden/ Cilantro is a great herb to grow. I once thought it was a warm weather herb. It is not. It loves cool weather and it can take frost. I try and grow it 3 ways in my garden. I seed the ground late fall with the cilantro that flowered and went to seed, I start transplants indoors near the end of January and I seed it outdoors with container peas through March. As the 3 plantings are in different stages of growth, I can have a continuous supply over a long harvesting period. More will get planted late spring.

To be honest, I really learn a lot from you! 😊 Thanks!

Great tip! Love cilantro, love peas! Question: I just planted my peas in a similar container; do you find it helpful to cover the pot in colder weather (under 45F)? I know you've said that peas can tolerate the cold, but I just want to double check. Also, do you think soaking the peas makes a difference? Thanks for the video!

I love cilantro, I will try it with my peas. Thanks

Hi Gary! Great video and some very useful tips. I started experimenting with companion gardening last year with herbs and flowers inter-planted with my tomatoes, beans and corn with some pleasing results. Will do more this year. Love your idea with the Cilantro in the bucket. Thanks! Steve

do you have any issues with critters or have you ever had any?
-
could you put a video together for what you do to protect your early garden from thunderstorms?
-
For starting tomatoes from seed, do you recommend I build your DIY growlight box or your DIY growlight station? Or are both suitable?

Hi, Thanks for all useful tips. Did you have to wait a lot for the parsley to germinate as mine is in already two weeks and no germination as yet.

I tried growing cilantro from seeds and roots from supermarket with no success these several of weeks now, now that you said it's not a warm weather plant, now I know whats the problem is. I'm living in a tropical climate so the temperature here is lowest at 70 and highest almost at 100. The problem is I've been using shades for temperate plants and manage to grow tomato, mint and basil with success. I don't get it with cilantro.. weird :/

Do these buckets have holes in the bottom? Really good video. Thanks.

Cilantro does fine outside in the UK, as well. I've made the mistake of treating the seeds as careful as I would peas, so I appreciated knowing I can simply toss them in, using the same method you do. Thanks!

I just need a address to send them too.

I got some cold hardy heirloom red siberian tomato seeds for you to try Gary.

Gary, I harvested cilantro seeds from last year, planted 20 seeds with no germination. Next time, I soaked the seeds 2 days and still no germination. I put them on a heat mat. Could the heat be the issue?

I planted cilantro seeds a week or two again in a container inside with promix here in Canada. Coming up nicely!

Gary is celery hard to grow in zone 7b? I could eat the whole plant in a day. Ive never grown it before and noticed you mentioned you are growing it.
