a cool trick for making the best potting mix is to use any potting mix of your choice with some compost or cow maure and take like 20 eggshells and crush them in to a fine powder with a rock or coffee grinder and mix it in to your soil . TIP: 2 half eggshells or 1 complete egg for a 0.25 gallon pot mix it in nicely and you have got the best soil ever
I swear I did not expect this great of a crop in the heat since I was new to SoCal. but it worked! Give it the best soil, lots of water, some late day shade and LOTS of seeds and I bet you'll get it rolling. I did eventually bolt but I got to eat a lot of it first. :)
I always like a video when I click on it. Sort of like a cover charge. But I do not often subscribe to channels. You got a subscribe from me before this video hit the one minute marker! I love it! I'm in Tucson, AZ and love hearing people say they are doing what they say they can't do!
I sure appreciate that! I'm pretty much a renegade and have to do what makes sense to me and to share my experiences which are often contrary to mainstream ideas. Glad to have you with me! PS and it's really nice you click like before watching. It really helps our channels spread the message :)
@@JuicingGardener I have done my own thinking my entire life. Whenever there is a controversy, I hear the arguments on both sides, and generally end up holding a position that gets both sides mad at me. LOL But, at least I know how to grow food! LOL
Sheryl!!! I miss your winter sowing videos with all your jugs and your growing tubs lol. Cilantro is one herb that is very stingy with its production hahahaha. I get the slo bolt from the MIGardener every year. Nice to see your content popping up :)
Thanks so much for your kind comments. I am now in Southern California and still doing Winter Sowing but doing it more of the year. Stay tuned for more videos!! Thanks for stopping by :) Sheryl
Hi! I am going to plant cilantro when I stumble upon your channel. I am so happy to see a gardening channel that is in same zone as I am. Most of the gardening channel I watch are fron different zone and as we know different zone, different timings of planting. God bless you and stay safe. 😊
Were you able to grow it in the humid Florida heat during warm seasons? I’m in Florida, too. I’ve been to south CA in the middle of summer and I can tell you, CA just doesn’t get anywhere near as hot and humid as Florida does. CA is a temperate growing zone, that’s why so much is grown there. Florida is a whole different animal. 🥵
I really enjoy your videos and was hoping to see more on winter sowing in the desert climate. I learned a lot from your videos but they mainly pertain to cold weather climates. I really hope you create some new content for the warmer area as we are approaching winter. Also, only 30% of my winter sowing grew from seed in which I was grateful. I think it is due to the warmer climate.
Hi Sheryl, could you let me know where I can purchase those low black containers that you are growing the cilantro and lettuce from please. Thank you and love your channel.
Thanks for your kind words. :) the only place I've found my grow tubs are at this link on Amazon. Here is the link directly to the grow tubs. amzn.to/3q9i2QE If you'd like to see other gardening products I recommend www.amazon.com/shop/juicinggardenersherylmann I've been using them over 8 years and they're still going strong!! :)
no use for cilantro! but, i just want to say thank you for your videos on winter sowing in cold weather!!! i discovered your early videos in mid january and i made sooo many mistakes with too many plants and lots of wrong season ones. such a garden dummy i am, but i have had the most enjoyable locked down summer this year with gardening, would have been bored to death if not for this new hobby! arthritis is a main issue, but playing outside all summer has made a huge difference. am currently working on sowing a raised bed of brassicas, and also making my plan for starting my winter sowing again, maybe late january next time. thank you so much!!! zone 7b
so nice to hear from you and thanks for your kind comments. I will be doing a lot more WS and other food growing videos now. I took most of last year off diving into the world of fruit trees. Make sure you watch my 50 fruit tree garden tour video! it's mind blowing to have all these fruit trees. But I'm getting back more into veg gardening now. Glad you had a good lockdown in the garden! I'm posting a new vid this week called Covid Lockdown Quaranteen Raised Bed with No Lumber or something like that. it's a good one! :) Sheryl
Does it want direct sun too? Mine didn't make it because the heat of the sun killed them, I only had a couple plants to try it, Baker creek had sent me some free seeds for it but I don't know what variety, I really didn't care for the herb but the seeds taste like they might be good to use as a spice to cook with. Did you cut your seeds in half? Thanks Sheryl.
ive been trying to grow coirandeer in Australian heat for years. Dies 100% of the time ive had so many nurseries tell me it doesnt grow in australian heat
Have you tried the Winter Sowing method to grow seedlings inside the jugs? It makes a moist warm greenhouse environment inside to help germinate the seeds. Also timing is everything with cilantro. Do you have a cooler season? Would grow best in that season. Good luck and keep trying!! :)
How nice of you to grow it for him :) I love it. It grows so well in your climate. I used to live in Anchorage and Eagle River decades ago so I know your climate well. WS is GREAT for Alaskan's! Hey, are you in my WS group yet? Make sure you come join my Winter Sowing groups to learn more, if you're not already in. We have a great supportive knowledgeable community and tons of gardening and WS info. Hope to see you there! facebook.com/groups/WinterSowing.VegGardeningWithSheryl
Lots of water will help. you can also try the Winter Sowing method and grow your cilantro seedlings in the free milk jugs. The jug makes a nice warm moist greenhouse environment and will go better seedlings of all types.

Papalo does GREAT in the heat. I started growing Papalo instead of cilantro in the summer because Cilantro was too finicky. It's as good or better than cilantro imo.
There is tons of vids on YT of people from India showing how to grow that stuff, most of them are only wearing T-Shirts and it's clearly very warm where they are... So who could ever get the idea this won't grow in warm climates? :-D
a guy who runs a nursery told me that he puts 3-4 seeds in a pint container and that makes his nice saleable cilantro crop. he also said they tend to like heat to germinate. but i've also found cilantro bolts so quickly...even cutting the tops regularly, it's still tough for me to get much before it's done...maybe i'll look for that slow bolt type
Your cilantro is GORGEOUS.

Wonderful! I love cilantro. I agree that one of the secrets is to sow a lot os seeds.
Thank you!
i am in Canada. My cilantro bolts in our hot humid summers so this video gives me hope.

I’m so happy to see this. I’ve been trying to grow cilantro forever and haven’t been successful. I’m going to try again!!! Thank you!
You are right!! Puerto Rico, not too sure what season but there always on peoples backyards and it’s hot weather during the day.
Exactly! Most people who think it's a cold lover plant only don't even try and grow cilantro in summer. Thanks for watching

Thank you for the tips do you get more than one harvest?
Where do you get the grow tubs?

How do you grow in Hot temperatures, please guide, where do you keep tubs? You just said we can grow , please provide more details

How much sun do you let them get during the hot times?
morning and all day sun and then they get some shade late day as the sun moves around.
ive been trying to grow coirandeer in Australian heat for years.

I like growing cilantro in Alaska. But I can't eat it - tastes like soap. But my hubby likes it.

It’s the bugs in fl that kill it then the heat come August
boy I've been lucky then. I have never once had a bug eat my cilantro, either in Ohio or SoCal!
There is tons of vids on YT of people from India showing how to grow that stuff, most of them are only wearing T-Shirts and it's clearly very warm where they are... So who could ever get the idea this won't grow in warm climates? :-D
it will not germinate in the south in the summer
a guy who runs a nursery told me that he puts 3-4 seeds in a pint container and that makes his nice saleable cilantro crop. he also said they tend to like heat to germinate. but i've also found cilantro bolts so quickly...even cutting the tops regularly, it's still tough for me to get much before it's done...maybe i'll look for that slow bolt type
Please shear/cut your cilantro.
Ripping off a bunch, while convenient, damages the cellular structure enough to retard new growth.
