I likely could have pulled this cilantro when it bolted.
And probably should have when the flowers were spent and the plant limp and scraggly.
But, I thought, what about the coriander seeds?
And so I waited.
The tribe of lady bugs are ever present, and likely ever grateful that wait I did.

Brilliant! But I apparently am not so. I cut them down. Forgot about the yummy edible seed.
PS – one of our favorite Shel S passages. Know it by heart!!
One of my favorites as well. It comes in handy at work 😉
