 Here is the array of herbs starts in For Pierce we assembled to add a fresh flavor to our cuisine on the trip.  I couldn't find cilantro so I started some from seed (thanks to Jetty).  The long petalled one is new to me- culantro, supposed to have a stronger flavor of cilantro.  We will see how they fair.

During and after the Gulf Stream crossing until now my poor cilantro seedlings have been dumped out at least 8 times.  Dean brought a plant holder he had made while at home to hold two of them.  That's what we have had each year.  You can see they multiplied : (       We rented a car for one day while in Fort Lauderdale to get some errands done and explore some since weather was keeping us there for a couple extra days.  There I found a boat specialty wood shop that made me a second one of some sort of white plastic board that holds up to UV exposure.  The trick is to find a secure place to attach them.  Hmm.  I'll update you on what we did.
