The rosemary bush is threatening to take over the front yard. I have
chives, thyme, mint, and parsley in my window box--they pretty much grow
year-round. I'll plant basil and oregano later this year. Sunset
magazine had a good idea for growing cilantro last year to keep it from
bolting. You plant a bunch of seeds in a broad planter and shear off
sections as you need them. If you use cilantro as much as we do, this
may be a bolt-proof method. I plan on trying it this year.
