Couldn't find your email address, s...Hi, Sandeepa. Couldn't find your email address, so I'll explain the cilantro seed germination here.<BR/><BR/>Main thing is that your seeds are viable. If you have harvested them fr/ previous plants, make sure they are fully dry, browned and falling off before you remove them. Soaking 2-3 days does help, but you can instead gently agitate the seeds with a spoon between damp paper towels to breach the hard shell.<BR/>Sow them only 1/4 inch deep in very soft, friable soil; barely cover the seeds. Keep them moist while you wait. Germination is 7-10 days. If you want a steady supply of leaves, you can stagger the planting every 3 weeks for crop overlap as the older plants start to bolt (put up flowers/seeds, no further culinary leaf production). <BR/><BR/>Cilantro is erratic. Supposedly, they do not transplant well b/c of their long tap root. Ours thrived wildly. If you continue to have problems, I would suggest young plants fr/ a garden center, carefully transplanted. Hope this helps.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for explaining the distinction b/t dhoka and dhokla. I'd like them both. : )Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970742141705361136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-71770566199877335682007-07-09T12:50:00.000-04:002007-07-09T12:50:00.000-04:00Sorry for being MIA!! :) Heh heh, am currently fin...Sorry for being MIA!! :) Heh heh, am currently finishing up The Namesake and also can't help but notice the repeated references to Bongs and food.. :) <BR/><BR/>The Lebanese food looks great, was that tuna or some other fish on the left side of the plate? yummm... am on a break, too, and am enjoying it, although I'm starting to feel fidgety already and missing work, heh hehShilpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775487084298169773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-23135613870758872662007-07-09T00:27:00.000-04:002007-07-09T00:27:00.000-04:00This was nice a nice writeup Sandeepa.
