This Girl is Showing Some Leg

 

It has been crazy HOT weather this past week! Some of your plants may look like this girl and are showing some leg! The heat causes them to “bolt” or go to seed as a survival mechanism. This is a cilantro plant, which seemed to get leggy from the moment I planted it. At this stage, you might as well compost it.

It is a fine dance between trimming off the flowers to grow more leaves or enjoying the flowers, seeds, and fruit of the plant. Remember that strong heat will encourage plants to bolt early. Enjoy your garden!
