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.

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!

well, isn't that cool! I absolutely HATE cilantro. Cannot stand to be anywhere near that stuff. But the seeds are totally differnt. Good for you. I hope you find some good ways to use it.

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,
