SOWING:
- Plant seed outdoors where the plants are to remain because they do not transplant well.
- Succession planting every 2 weeks from early spring into late summer will provide a continual harvest of fresh leaves.
- Scatter seed 2 inches apart.

GERMINATION:
- Germinates in 15-20 days depending on soil and weather conditions.
THINNING:
- When plants are 2-3 inches high, thin out extra plants by cutting them off at the soil line, allowing mature plants to grow 6-10 inches apart.
- Try not to disturb the soil around the plants that are to remain (which could cause them to bolt).
- Eat your thinnings!
NOTES:
- Cilantro is a popular baby or micro-green.
