Glad I came across this thread!
I was also going to post a question on why the Cilantro I grew from see "bolted" so quickly and now looks all ferny on top and is making little, white flowers?????

Should I pinch off the ferny part?
Will that help the rest of the plant grow back fuller as a regular Cilantro?
Am I understanding (from the above posts) that the ferny part is called
"Coriander" while the regular-leaved part is Cilantro? The seed
package I grew these from had "Coriander" on it.

As far as the taste and smell go, yes! it is overwhelming. I just used it all chopped up in some marinade I made for a lot od chicken pieces.

Here's a picture of mine--just starting to grow the ferny part of the leaves. Someone explain this to me, please!!!!!

Thanks, Gita
