"I have cilantro in the garden right now that overwintered. I can't get it to germinate in the summer. It's too hot here."
I stopped and said aloud, Wow, too hot in Delaware to germinate cilantro in summer." It is a small world we live in sometimes. Cilantro can bolt here in late May depending on the temperatures. The same is true with spinach, beets, and turnips. Once the temperature gets 95 and above - those crops smell spoiled and forget eating them.
One more herb that we are going to look for is catnip. There are always cats around here. However, I'll plant it somewhere away from the gardens. Then they can roll in it a purr to their heart's content.
