Cilantro


This is one herb I cannot grow successfully. I have talked to a local garden center and had my feelings of failure eased when they told me it is extremely hard to grow cilantro here in our climate. 

I did find a local Indian grocery store (Baymeadows and Southside near India's Restaurant) that sells a large bunch of Cilantro for only $0.50. At such a low cost I can afford to let some go to waste, but I still wanted to see if I could make it last longer. 

I put half of the bunch in the fridge in an open tupperware container it wilted within a few days. The other half I treated like celery. I cut off the bottoms of the stems and placed them in a glass of water (like flowers) and put that glass in the door of the fridge. Three weeks lated I still have crisp Cilantro!!
