@ Kiwi Kit – It shouldn’t weaken the strain – it’s no different than what would happen in nature! =)

Do you use your saved seed to grow next years crop. I have done this for the past couple of years but wonder weather or not this will eventually weaken the strain of the seed. Anyone know about this?

@ Vickie – Pick them now! Just pick them, and then put them in a brown paper bag. Leave them in there to let them get good and dried out, and then proceed as normal! =D

Luck!

This is the first year I have grown cilantro. I have left some go to seed but I have a question. I have a lot of seeds but they haven’t turned brown yet. We are expecting a frost and I’m not sure what to do-harvest green or cover or ???

@ Lynn – I’ve been making chili like crazy, maybe I’ll add in some of my knew coriander. =)

I save my coriander seeds also. The spice is expensive to buy. I add grounded seeds in to chili and stews.

@ me3 – The seeds will come after the flowers. Has your plant flowered? Is it outside? If it’s almost a year old it seems about time! Hmm, I’ll have to look into that . . .

I still haven’t found a good use for coriander (I love Indian – Indian doesn’t love me) but for some reason my cilantro has never produced these seeds. I harvest the leaves pretty rapidly for pesto as a basil substitute, and have done do for most of a year, so the plants have age on them. Any advice on getting these huge cilantro plants to produce seeds?
