Every summer, my herbs — especially parsley and cilantro — would bolt or burn out as temperatures climbed. A chef friend told me, “You’re treating cool-weather herbs like summer vegetables.” He shared this strategy: Give herbs morning sun, afternoon shade Plant in wider, shallower pots for better airflow Water early in the morning, never midday Harvest often so they don’t bolt I moved my herb planters to the east side of the yard. The difference was dramatic: steady growth, no burning, and fresh herbs all season. Sometimes the key to gardening is matching the plant’s origin, not your schedule. #Gardening #related
