We planted ours in April and we are seeing the beginnings of little 2cm florets already and it is only June, first time growers :0) They are about 60cm high, we have had a few leaves chewed, but that is ok now that they are bigger and waxier, It is purple broc, looking goog so far. They are outside, not covered and we are in the north east, maybe beginners luck. JC

I have been given a number all in quite a small pot. Having enough water is touch an go. Maybe up had too many packed in too? I will risk splitting mine up and put th in the garden and they can take their chances.

If you plant this April/May you should begin to see florets in about 12/14 months. They are worth the wait though!

I started growing cilantro in a small pot on my kitchen's east window sill. It sprouted and grew very well until about two days ago. I've been watering it consistently once a day just enough to moisten the soil (potting soil) on top. Now all the leaves and stems are wilting, and I don't think I've done anything differently to cause this. More water? Less water? Less sun?

Jenny and I have been gardening now for 7 years and started only with memories of our parents having a garden. It just stuck with us as we grew up and finally, after 20 years we had a place to start our own garden.

We definitely go organic all the way and we don't use a tiller either. I like the idea of turning the soil and putting organics in the bottom for a year to break down.

Home gardening has really changed things for us.

I received an article this morning from someone named Bilal claiming to be a partner with this site.

I am guessing this person sent the same email to many other sites as they didn't bother to even check my site to see if we accept guest post and just asked me in the email.

Next they didn't bother to take the time to look up my name so all I got was a Hi. Looked very much like a generic spam type email.

I took the time to publish the article to my pagerank 4 gardening blog and offer the opportunity to publish more articles on my other gardening blogs, however once my email bounced back I promptly removed it and considered the email to be spam.

Who wrote this post? Not only does the article not answer the question posed in the headline, but it seems "rough" (for lack of a better word) language is used just for the sake of it. If using words and phrases such as "crap", "by God", "damn things", and "eating the hell out of them" is an effort to sound conversational, it's not working. This whole article seems contrived and offers next to no actual information.

It sounds like the writer is trying to be someone they're not. Be authentic and the readers will believe what's written.
