Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark š

I love cilantro, the leaves/herb. Even if it bolts on me, the seeds are great, too.
Great video Mark!
You are amazing…I'm a botanist/horticulturalist from uni…and you excel. You know in your heart..YOU are a natural! I'm trying now to test getting them to germinate faster…split soaked for 48 hours, split and planted and whole planted. Culantro (recao) is a very different herb, with an entirely different aromatic chemical/flavor but it is great for making recaito…which I recommend! I don't like the dill type at all. I wish I could find culantro seeds! (I'm in Denmark but am American). One interesting thing, that I only learned yesterday, is that there are two seeds in each pod! DID YOU KNOW? But..check it out…I split many many today and can see the chambers, but cannot for the life of me see the seeds…they must be stuck in the chambers, hidden, or minuscule. Have you made a galanga growing video (so many spellings, so little time!)? How I'd love to have access to that here!!! Just love you!!!

Coriander seeds are used a lot in indian cooking like cumin seeds and coriander leaves used for garnishing pretty much all cuisine . It's considered a herb. It is a must thing in our kitchen.
Thanks bro! I am crime Ethiopia!
The bees LOVE coriander flowers
Amazing content as usual. Love coriander/cilantro whatever š I'm going to plant at home this autumn since it can't be found in ethnic shops here š®š¹. Best gardening channel š
sorry m8 but your video quality isnt good on this video
now its good quality lol
how's this picante
Believe it or not certain people have genes (OR6A2) that make cilantro taste soapy. If you dont have that gene it tastes wonderful. That's why
Love yer work, man! Great channel. I bought one coriander seedling last year and when it went to seed and dried out, I just walked around the garden shaking the (not very big) dried out plant. As soon as spring just hinted at its arrival, coriander plants were coming up all over. It sure doesnāt care much about soil quality and I wouldnāt be surprised to see one growing in a crack in the concrete driveway. Had SO much this year that I was giving away plants in pots once they were established enough to transplant. Also did a lot of transplanting around the garden to more suitable spots. Just love it. Perfect for curries and for chili/Mexican (though you gotta call it cilantro in that š). Keep up the great workš
How young you look!
Fun fact properly tasting cilantro is genetic and not simply a matter of preference. Differences in taste/smell receptors for roughly 10% of the population will make cilantro leaves taste like soap.
Thereās a very specific gene that makes some people strongly dislike the taste of cilantro. After surveying nearly 30,000 people, the scientists singled it down to the OR6A2 gene. This gene ācodes for the receptor that picks up the scent of aldehyde chemicalsā ā these chemicals are found in cilantro and soap, which is why many people anecdotally say cilantro tastes like soap.
In my twenty's couldn't stand cilantro but now love it!
Thanks to much for teach this important labor our self feed and no depending of to buy, and buy and buy, thanks
Its not that most people aren't "used" to the taste, its that they're genetically pure and have a built in aversion to this disgusting weed. Tastes like kitchen cleaner mixed with battery acid.
crush the seeds a towel soak overnight in water. mix with compost roll up in a cloth soak the cloth. three days the seed should germinate. sprinkle on you made up bed. lightly cover with your potting mix lightly water.
I just love this herb
I hope I can grow it in Adelaide thankyou for your advice.
Another great video! your my first call to learn about growing food here in France, thanks
Try putting the Delfino Del ( as d EL as in ELF and FEENO ) in a plastic bag , a few drops of water in a dirt or what have you , not wet , put it in the frig for a few weeks and then try planting it. I find this usually fixes the problem….
Yeah I'll always call it coriander
it's coriander, seeds to leaves.
All of your tips are valid Mark.
This tip may of may not work in your climate:
Give it a bloody good haircut, just as you would oregano.
coriander produces more young leaves.
More snipping, more new leaves, less likely to bolt to seed.
Fun fact the coriander seed is actually a fruit, that dries out and is ground. It has seeds in it. But youāre actually eating coriander fruit.
Personally not a fan of it, but married to a Thai it's a common herb in our garden every year. Very easy to grow and if you know the right places to buy the seeds from, it's very cheap. It also manages to survive the UK winters!
I live in Texas and am definitely into cilantro (leaf), and the moment it goes to seed, the leaves change. Iām constantly clipping tops.
Succession sewing is a great idea. Thanks!
i love growing our own herbs, saves so much money. and makes it so much easier to use. I think we use so much more due to having them on hand
i've only ever tried it mixed in a mango salmon salad and while I can taste that weird taste, it quickly gets replaced by all the other good flavors. I think I'm the only one in the family who likes it š Bit of a bummer though because that means I can't make more salads with cilantro in it.
Can you sow seeds from a year ago? I had a cilantro plant that went to seed. I saved them. Can I plant the seeds this year?

Pico de gallo made me love cilantro and is why I'm growing it this year. Tiny little sprouts so far. But I'm looking forward to homegrown fresh pico de gallo! P.S. Learned something new. I thought coriander and cilantro were two different plants! Crazy!
We call it cilantro here in Texas, I've never tried the seeds green. The dried seeds are crushed and called Comino it's used in a lot of tex mex cooking
Iāve found that adding a couple of TAblespoons of hydrogen peroxide to soaking water for a couple days helps germination.
Hi Self Sufficient Me ! I live on the Gold Coast, and can't get my coriander to grow like yours on the property. Also, I am restricted to growing space. Is there an easier and cheaper method of sowing coriander seeds with success ?
You have not shown in this video how to grow a ton of it from start to finish.
Some people think it tastes like soap. I feel terrible for those folks
Great vid bro. Subbedšš±
I love to grow herbs specially Tarragon and lemon basil cilantro and chives , but I donāt get as much as I need , we Persian eat a lots of herbs with flat bread and feta cheese ( that could be my lunch any days ) but no luck with growing it a lot š¢
my wife calls the seeds and green dhaniya coriander wonderfull smell
What's the book in the video?
In Japan we call it pakuchi (I think from Thai).
Love it ā¤, cannot have enough of it but never managed to grow it š¢
