What are you growing in your garden this year? 2021 gardening thread

Cilantro has done well for us in a part shade location(morning sun/afternoon shade)with moderate moisture but it always seems to eventually go to seed(bolt)around mid-season here in the Mid-west. That is why I had to seek out an alternate like the Vietnamese Coriander.

Slow-bolt cilantro fairs about the same in my climate. It bolts around the same time or relatively close to regular cilantro with similar soil moisture. IME they are so similar that I wouldn't choose one over the other here in the Mid-west.

Thanks. I plan to order Culandro (which I think is just another name for Vietnamese Coriander) in the spring. My reading the other day on it says it's advised to plant fresh seeds (seeds said to be viable only 2 years, which is not much) and I figure it's likely too late to expect anything this year, plan to plant next year.

IMO growing cilantro(coriander)is very climate dependent.

I figure I should do some work to find out what local growers experience. I did start a thread a month or two ago asking if anyone has had success locally growing papalo, but got no response. I should ask about cilantro and I can also go to some nurseries and talk to workers there. I figure I can pick up some tips. I have a small pot (about 2 quarts) with potting soil with seedlings that popped out a few days ago. Also have two similar pots that have completely bolted beyond usefulness. Only my papalo is useful ATM. I don't find it satisfactory replacement for cilantro, is my initial reaction.
