The only one in serious demand seems to be parsley, so I have several pots of it growing. Three pots of rosemary, three of oregano, two thyme plants, six basil plants (just because it smells so damn good,) two fennel plants, two dill plants, peppermint, spearment, two pots full of cat-chewed lemongrass, and as of this week, three pots of cilantro. I think I got the cooking herb requirements filled... Time to think about tea herbs.
(Note: I freeze a LOT of herbs for winter use.)

Great. Let what you call cilantro go to seed. You will get the "bestest" of all. Coriander. Excellent with meats of any sort. Excellent with everything actually. Whole, under the teeth it cracks up a little bomb of marvelous flavor.
