Ok, so call me silly, but I did not know that when growing Cilantro, if you let it flower and go to seed you get......
Coriander Seeds!
How cool is that! So today, I cut my cilantro which I had let dry. I put it in a brown paper bag and shook the bag until all the seeds fell off, then placed them in a small canning jar for storage. Now i just have to come up with some recipes to use it in. I am excited to have found yet another way to "preserve" from the garden.

Yup and yessirree!
And, red, yellow and orange bell peppers are what you get when you let GREEN bell peppers hang on the plant long enough to "ripen".

Thanks Gals! While I consider myself somewhat "garden savvy", thanks to my dear grandpa who grew amazing gardens all his life, it is amazing how much I DONT know, which of course is half the fun of gardening- trial and error and learning new things everyday!
Good Luck with all of your garden adventures!
Hugs,

Great tip from the garden. I will have to write that down in my gardening journal so I don't forget it. That is cool!
