I tried to rid it by neglect... NO WAY!! It just kept on thriving. 😂

How do you take care of cilantro ? Mine dies everytime :(

@@thefelixfam 6in pot; poke 5-6 holes evenly spaced, drop 2-3 seeds in each 1/4" deep hole and cover. Fluorescent 6500k grow lights will provide steady 70°F heat year around for rapid germination and growing conditions. Lights need to be a constant 4-6 inches from top of plants so they don't get leggy. Leggyness will develop floppy weak stems and lead to rot. Water daily to keep damp as 70°F will dry out quickly. Feed with liquid fertilizer once a week. Raise lights as plants grow taller maintaining head space. Make a round hoop with wire and 4 bamboo stakes pushed into the soil around the edge of the pot when they get 10-12" tall to keep plants from flopping over when they get too tall. Harvest from tips to encourage branching and more new stems

@@seriouslyreally5413 thanks! I'll try! ❤️

Yes! That is often my secret weapon for salad. Try dill, mint and basil together in a salad. Its amazing!

I didn’t understand what she meant, sleeved herbs? In mine they are in a plastic rectangular box.. does your store have something that is fresher than that? Would you describe what it is? Does it still have roots?

@@massages_for_world_peace8909 She’s describing live, potted herbs in a plastic sleeve that can be found in the produce section of many supermarkets.

​@@massages_for_world_peace8909they are small plants in individual pots with a plastic cellophane sleeve around them like you see fresh cut flowers have. They are literally right in the produce section usually placed on their own small stand. The plants in the garden section really do cost twice as much!

I'm in zone 5b in Canada with snow and ice and my sage and thyme are both still doing well outside, so I think you'd be able to leave yours out too!

@@FloraM44 Thank you for replying even with young plants? My Oregano and Rosemary are in beds so doing well but wasn't sure about fabric containers.

@@AnyKeyLady ah I was thinking you had them in the ground and dug them up to bring inside. My thyme is in the ground and my sage are in large planters. My sage is definitely looking rough but I think it'll actually survive our winter (or it'll be close) which is why I was thinking yours in your zone would probably be okay. But in fabric pots that have already been inside, I'd keep them there now. Watch your watering to make sure you're not giving them too much (the bane of indoor plants' existence!)

@@FloraM44 Thank you. Yes trying to watch the over watering.

@@AnyKeyLady And if you suspect your soil might be too wet, you could try running a fan towards the fabric bag - I assume it's more breathable and therefore the air would help dry it out faster. Or you could gently pull the plant with soil out of the bag to check on the roots to get more info. Good luck!

You can add mint leaves to salads. As children we used to suck on mint leaves also.

Mint tea. Good for upset tummies, but also when you want something different than orange pekoe!

I like just throwing some in low sodium soda water as a light drink. You can candy it as well, and use it in desserts that way

I love it in iced tea. Can also be used to make a jelly that is used for meat dishes, typically mutton.

Breath freshener to chew post meals (guests like this a lot), or morning wake-up. If you like fresh rolls, I use up a lot of mint making those. Also things like tabouli (if I’m spelling that correctly). There’s a beet recipe I like, which has roasted beets, kalamata olives, mint, and a dressing.
