A few weeks ago I decided to test out my green thumb and planted some herbs and flowers on my balcony. I have always wanted to have a garden but have never lived somewhere where that was possible. So planter boxes it was! I planted basil, parsley, thyme, and cilantro.
I have to say I am pretty impressed with how well they are all doing (so far). The cilantro is the only one not really working out. When I went to the garden store I asked for some advice on each herb, I was told to not let the cilantro to go to seed. I nodded my head like I knew what she was talking about. Well when I noticed my cilantro wasn’t doing well I did some more research and discovered you don’t want the plant to flower and need to trim it to keep the cilantro leaves growing.
