Might go with either the hot peppers or cilantro. Does cilantro keep coming back?

I never understood cilantro. Is it like parsley? I heard that women like it more then men.

Although cilantro looks like parsley, it has a certain flavor to it that makes it good in things like salsa.

I am looking most forward to planting chives and mint.

At the dollar store today I bought 2 plastic window boxes to try out and a package of Gourmet Blend RADISH seeds.

I just destroyed one of those window boxes by trying to drill drain holes in it. It is to thin and brittle. I used an X-ACTO knife on the second one and that worked.

Unfortunately plastic stuff bought at the dollar store is easy to break. Glad that you had better luck with the second one.

Yesterday I learned an important tip from a youtube video about thinning out plants. In stead of pulling out the plants you want to get rid of you cut them off close to the ground. They way you don't disturb any root systems.
