A year-old video, but timely and informative as usual. Mine bolted and I didn't know what to expect. Thanks.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Cheers, happy to help!

[@tomsmith4698]

Thank you so much ! I usually continually chop back for longer leaf season for tacos and pico de gallo, but this year I decided to let a patch go to seed. I'm excited to get some seeds for winter curries. And I'll do the viability test on some to start next spring :)

[@neilsunstrum933]

I started cilantro and oregano seeds two months before I could plant them outside. Transplant them to the garden and planted some fresh seeds… The seeds are directly planted outside along with the two month old plants now are three times the size 3 months later. Won't be wasting my time starting them early next year

[@SMuRi-lv3nq]

Love your calm and clear voice and directions, thank you for the guide!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Hey thanks so much, appreciate the kind words and support! :-)

[@mizzfreaky4525]

As someone who is gonna try to grow cilantro for the first time next year this was a perfect video! 😃 The growing season here in Sweden is pretty short if you dont have a greenhouse, so I want to save seeds to use for cooking during winter and spring 😊 thank you for yet another helpful video!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

You can do it. I bet your climate is ideal for growing cilantro!

[@Jeff_PNW]

Love, love, love cilantro! I stagger plantings year round, indoors & outdoors, so I'm never without it. For saving seeds I hang the heads upside down in a paper bag.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Smart! Staggering herbs is definitely recommended if you eat a lot of them!

[@FaithbyNature2]

Thank you! I loved this video. Mine went to seed. I was like ok I want to save the seeds. This was very informative for me.

[@Andrea-ql1qq]

Thank you so much! My seeds are brown here in Indiana going into the second week of August! I’m going to harvest them, and do a test batch to test the viability. 🌱

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@Andrea-ql1qq perfect Andrea! Once you know you got a good batch, you'll have cilantro for years!

[@FlashSquad222]

Excellent information from start to finish. Much appreciated!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Thanks janine, and thanks for watching! :-)

[@mudpiemudpie785]

I just put mine in a large paper bag to dry and I keep the bag in a dry, cool place. I haven't had any problem saving seeds using the paper bag method.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Beauty! Nothing wrong with that method! :-)

[@emylytle7149]

I have a lot of coriander seeds from my first cilantro plant and it so nice to have extras and u can do a lot of things with it, dry, freeze, and share some, thank you Jeff, this is another brilliant tips 👍👩‍🌾👍

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Thanks Emy! Sounds like you're loaded on Cilantro! Awesome!

[@billbalch6549]

So happy to have seen this video! I have a great idea now why my cilantro patch tripled in size from last year. Jeff you have probably saved me a lot of future headaches.. Thanks brother man!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Right on Bill! Nothing wrong with triple the Cilantro patch, LOL!

[@JS-jl1yj]

I just collected my Coriander seeds this week. After watching your video, I realize that I may have been too late. But I hope that they will still be viable. I figure that when the plant is self seeding, the seeds must be dry, rather than reddish, in order to get detached from their stems. We'll see next Spring. It my saved seeds don't germinate, I will use the rest of them as coriander in my cooking.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Right on JS! It's never really too late in terms of viability... It's just that one day the seeds will drop off the plant and it happens very suddenly. But if they dry and cure on the plant, that's no problem!

[@readytogarden999]

My cilantro grew through the winter. Here in Washington DC

[@2ndchancecreationsbychrist12]

Hi 👋...been following your channel for a while and this video is GREAT timing. My Coriander (here in Australia) is doing well and I harvest the leaves daily.....but have wondered about the seeds, so now I know why I DIDNT get ANY seeds last YEAR NO pollination as it was the wrong growing spot and no bees. Thank you so much as now I know what to do .....🙂

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Right on Christa! Happy to help and best of luck with getting seeds this year! 🙂

[@colleenavery232]

all of mine are flowering - first time - so curious what it would look like - PERFECT TIMING - THANKS - Always AWESOME info!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Ha ha that IS perfect timing Colleen! Love it! 🙂

[@ericsafran6108]

Calypso has been my variety of choice to save as well...I had some seed saved from over-wintered plants that lasted until mid August before bolting from an early May planting that are seeding now. We've had a mostly cool wet summer this year here in zone 5b WV. Thanks for all of the great informative videos!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Right on eric! Its just never disappointed me! Indoors or outside!

[@gazellecarlson6543]

sweet did this for my first time...love it

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Right on Gazelle, glad you found success!

[@alicedemarisco696]

Cheers alice, thanks so much for watching!

[@Lisa-pn1eu]

Great Information!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Thanks Lisa!

[@toniasfusion2797]

I did the same as well. Save the seeds then plant the next year.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

It's the best! Free cilantro!

[@sunayakong8537]

I’ve been waiting to harvest my seeds, I wanted all the pollutors to have the time, just started cutting the stems because I use the coriander in my cookin.

[@tigco1121]

Very thorough. I appreciate it!

Excellent video man! Thanks 🙏

Thanks For Good Information!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Cheers, thanks for watching!

[@mattpeacock5208]

My cilantro from last year came back with a vengence. It sprouted and bolted in a warm February, so........I'm letting it go to seed just for making pickles. Free stuff is free stuff, right?

[@TimeLapseVideos-Garbagetrucks]

I put my seeds in with silica moisture packets to keep them dry

[@ricktimm3227]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year jeff

[@GottabKD777]

Prefect timing thanks!

[@christinebrooks6364]

Hi, great video, thanks for sharing and take care 🙂

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Hey Christine, thanks so much for watching! 🙂

[@colleenavery232]

QUESTION Why do you like calypso? new to cilantro so no idea - Thanks

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Fast sprouter, BIG leaves, slow to flower...just a powerhouse variety that doesn't disappoint. 🙂

[@robertadair6818]

How do you eat or use cilantro in foods??

[@GrandmomZoo]

Great video! Thank you.😊

[@pangxiong7754]

Have you tried cutting the seed when its green and letting it dry out to be brown and then try to grow them, will it work?

[@islamicmusichub]

Hi I see you reply to comments. I just picked a load of seeds while they were green and assumed they would dry off the plant. Did I do it wrong? I want to eat some and plant some so I get more plants

[@carrottop3454]

Can you use these as the spice coriander?

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Yes...its exactly what they are!

[@VaultDwellerGal]

🎵Cilantro fields, forever 🎵

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Ha ha cant get the tune outta my head!

[@VaultDwellerGal]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms 😂🤣 It’s a great one! Thanks for the reminder to plant cilantro seeds. I nearly forgot it’s time.

[@inanim8]

how do you get your plants to stay upright like that?? mine always fall over

[@babydoll8em69]

Mine just did this 🙄 I got some thin cord from the craft section at Walmart and strung/attached it to the fence lol it's been 2 months and so far so good. Am also using the same idea to keep my tomatoes from falling 🤷

[@carlowencantara8677]

how much per kilo

[@wendyburston3132]

I grew cilantro for the first time this year when the seeds turned brown I picked them but they look a lot dryer and shriveled than yours.

[@firekrueger3987]

I subd

[@lavernejones1973]

Jesus is Alive he love us all you heard the loud voice that you couldn't see get white and look up to heaven

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Ok

[@Peanut1973martine]

Thanks for this , my plant has gone to flower now do will await the seed it does and keep them for next planting up looking forward to seeing them arrive

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@Peanut1973martine yes, once the seeds turn brown you can plant them again this year!
