I seem to be having more trouble these days trying to grow cooler weather herbs. First, the cilantro went to pot.... (pun not intended). I grew some the first year here on our property...back in 2011. It did really good! These past 3 seasons though...not so much. It's been getting hotter...sooner..and the cilantro bolts.
This year, and last, 2013...the dill bolted far too early. I finally just pulled it out of it's container.
Now my curly leafed parsley is jumping ship on me. It was so green and lush...now turned yellow and dying.
I am wondering if perhaps I need to add more soil to the containers to keep them cooler...although..when I had these same plants in the ground, they didn't do any better.
Winters and fall/spring are far too short to try to keep them growing for those seasons. Usually, 2 weeks long is about it.
