Cilantro substitutes in our hot summers.

Sarasota, FL

Here's a strawberry pot with plantings of Polygonum odoratum aka Vietnamese coriander also known as fragrant knotweed. Since these are water hogs, they can also be placed in your lily pond. The cuttings are easy to root in water, although I don't like to do that.
Once late October arrives, it's time to plant coriander seeds for fresh cilantro.

Always amazing me with your plant knowledge!!!! Still need to take a pic of that pot you threw the basil seeds in....something's coming up with shiny leaves

Sarasota, FL

I wonder; am getting lots of jewels of opar, Talinum sp. Their seeds are ejected from the pods. Paddle-shaped leaves?
