    Cilantro and dill are annual herbs and often do not last through the summer, You can try starting cilantro from seed if temperatures will remain hot for a couple more months in your area; parsley is a biennial herb and might grow inside if this is its first year. More information here:

    Cilantro does not like the heat, it has a tendency to bolt when temps go above 75 degrees, however, you can still grow in indoors. :) Please see this article for tips on how to do that:

    It's certainly worth the time and effort, fresh cilantro is wonderful!

    i dont know for sure how it all works but i did save green pepper seeds 2 years ago by lying them on a paper towel till they were dry a put them in a container till next season wich was last summer. i started them in the house then moved them outside to the garden turned out to be beautiful plants, the only problem there was no fruits on them. i talked to a friend and he told me the reason is because the seeds were not fertile seeds like the ones you buy in packets at the store. thats all i can tell you about saveing the seeds.good luck with your gardening ! oh yes not all seeds reproduce in the same nature but do give em a try cant hurt

    Your cilantro has bolted, which is common for this plant. This means that it will not grow anymore leaves. When growing cilantro, your best bet is to grow "successive" plantings. This means to plant seeds about every 2 weeks so that when a plant bolts, you will have more growing that have not yet bolted.

    Most germination should take place within 7 to 10 days.

    It is not and your plants are becoming what is known as "leggy". This article will help you correct this (your plants may not be seedlings anymore, but the same issues that make leggy seedlings make leggy plants):
