This weather is so crazy. I have a pot on the patio where I planted cilantro and later it went to seed and I planted some flowers. Well, today I see cilantro growing in there.

Cilantro seeds itself quite easily. As I was finishing my last harvest I found a big stand of it, self sown. It is a bit cold hardy.

There was a volunteer tomato plant right at the corner of the garage that survived our first 20° night.
It didn't get through the next one but after it was flat on the ground, I could see that there were ..
. 2 tiny snapdragon plants behind it. Maybe, they will still be there in 2019

Oh.
Had a couple counter-ripened tomatoes.
DW used them in salsa with the last of the late-harvested cilantro and green onions. They really needed that and the garlic. Guess it is time for the store-bought.

What is crazy is that I get a flush in early spring but dead by Time tomatoes come on. Attempts to re sow in July usually worthless.

Late cilantro was a 2 out of 3 times affair with me, @seedcorn .
Frustrated, I decided that I'd try sowing it late in 2016. Corn is always outside, scratched my way through the rows with the cilantro seed. Cut the corn down in a few weeks, after harvest. Cilantro grew. Worked pretty darn good!
2017, tried the same thing. That cilantro was too small to be useable.
2018, some of the sweet corn had been harvested so it was cut. This time, the cilantro would go on the sprinkler side of the corn but in the full sun from the start. It worked but not as well as in 2016. The cilantro was small. Even though it continued living through numerous frosts, it did not grow. The last run through was mostly just scrounging.
Here is something that I didn't really know until a year or two ago: cilantro roots are edible. They become coarse as the plant grows but if the plants are tiny, take the time to chop the roots. Lots of flavor there!
