I love gardening. I love that I can plant a seed and something grows. I think as fall comes, sometimes it’s easy to think that gardening is done. But it’s really not! There are so many things that you can still grown in the fall. A lot of the early spring plants can also grow in the fall. One of my favorites is Cilantro.
Cilantro can be planted 6-8 weeks before your first expected frost date. One way to help your cilantro grow healthier and more abundantly is to use Miracle Grow.
I love using Miracle Grow Liquafeed on my garden all summer long! It’s really easy to use – just as easy as watering, in fact!

Since we’re talking about Fall Gardening, I wanted to show you how to freeze all of that fall cilantro so you can enjoy it all winter! I came across a recipe on Pinterest here and decided to give it a try. I doubled the recipe and slightly altered it. And I think it’s delicious!
Here’s what you need:
4 handfuls of cilantro
5 cloves garlic
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
And this is really so easy to do. Just put all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix.
Then pour it all into ice cube trays and pop it in the freezer.

I keep an icecube tray specifically for freezing these savory or flavored items when I make them. I also lightly spray the tray interiors with a `baking`spray. It can be commercial product or a loaded spray pump. I find it helps prevent the flavor transfer to the plastic – not so much for releasing the frozen cubes from the tray.

I never use up all of the cilantro in my garden or even the bunch I buy in the store. Cilantro is a must when I make salsa, but it does not stay fresh very long. Thanks for the tip!
