Fall cilantro after summer bolting

Restart a cool-season leaf herb after a bolted summer crop, with separate scallion timing.

Clear old cilantro first. Confirm cooler germination conditions before using the backward-calculated window.

How to use this plan

Restart a leaf herb after summer flowering.

  1. Check your starting point Check the previous cilantro is cleared and current soil temperatures permit a new sowing.
  2. Choose the next action Delay hot-soil cilantro sowing while keeping the longer scallion window visible.
  3. Carry out the plan Direct sow separate blocks, record emergence and take cilantro leaves before the next flowering transition.
  4. Keep a useful record A restart date, leaf-stage record and separate green-onion finish.

Square bed spacing is the selected compact planting method. Container spacing describes root positions; foliage may spread beyond the pot. Seed quantities include 10% spare, with 2 small seeds per target and one bean seed per target. Follow cultivar packets if their spacing or sowing instructions differ.

Planting windows

Soil and weather decide the actual planting day.

2027-08-03 to 2027-08-17

Cilantro for leaves · A

Direct sow. Sow for leaves during cool conditions; choose a slow-bolting cultivar if available.

2027-07-04 to 2027-07-18

Bunching onions · B

Direct sow. Choose a bunching or scallion cultivar for green stalks, not a storage-bulb onion.

From planting to clearing

Estimated cycles fit.

These are planning windows. Record what actually happens in your season journal; clear the space before starting the next crop.

A · Cilantro for leavesPhase 1 · batch 1
  1. Sow2027-08-03 to 2027-08-17

    Sow for leaves during cool conditions; choose a slow-bolting cultivar if available. Plant only when the seed packet and local weather conditions agree.

  2. Seedlings2027-08-10 to 2027-09-07

    Keep the seed surface evenly moist; thin without moving established taproots. Thin toward 64 positions at 152 × 152 mm when true leaves appear. Keep stronger seedlings. Re-sow gaps only when temperatures and remaining season are suitable.

  3. Tend2027-08-10 to 2027-09-30

    Watch for finely divided leaves and a flower stalk; these mark the transition away from leaf production. Check moisture, surviving plants, weeds, support and visible crop stage; adjust to rain, heat and drainage.

  4. Harvest check2027-09-02 to 2027-10-14

    Take small leaf cuts before bolting; for this leaf plan, clear flowering plants before the next sowing. The 30–45-day range begins at direct sowing; check the cultivar and actual crop. Record what is actually ready; this estimate is not a yield guarantee.

  5. Clear / review2027-10-14 to 2027-10-14

    Remove spent plants and check the soil before a successor starts. 14 harvest days and 3 clearing days are planning allowances; actual crop condition decides the changeover. Record actual harvests or losses. Keep healthy perennial clumps if you are not reusing their space; revise the next planting accordingly.

B · Bunching onionsPhase 1 · batch 1
  1. Sow2027-07-04 to 2027-07-18

    Choose a bunching or scallion cultivar for green stalks, not a storage-bulb onion. Plant only when the seed packet and local weather conditions agree.

  2. Seedlings2027-07-11 to 2027-08-08

    Thin seedlings gradually; keep the shallow root zone from drying out. Thin toward 256 positions at 76 × 76 mm when true leaves appear. Keep stronger seedlings. Re-sow gaps only when temperatures and remaining season are suitable.

  3. Tend2027-07-11 to 2027-09-30

    Weed carefully around narrow stems and mark where early pulls created gaps. Check moisture, surviving plants, weeds, support and visible crop stage; adjust to rain, heat and drainage.

  4. Harvest check2027-09-02 to 2027-10-14

    Pull selected green stalks at usable size; this plan does not include bulb curing or storage. The 60–75-day range begins at direct sowing; check the cultivar and actual crop. Record what is actually ready; this estimate is not a yield guarantee.

  5. Clear / review2027-10-14 to 2027-10-14

    Remove spent plants and check the soil before a successor starts. 21 harvest days and 3 clearing days are planning allowances; actual crop condition decides the changeover. Record actual harvests or losses. Keep healthy perennial clumps if you are not reusing their space; revise the next planting accordingly.

Assumptions and sources

  • Spacing is for the selected compact planting method; follow your cultivar packet where it differs.
  • Seed allowance and minimum root-space limits are planning choices, not germination or yield guarantees.
  • Dates are preparation windows, not forecasts. Confirm soil temperature, weather and actual crop stage.
  • First fall frost is a conservative planning boundary, including for hardy crops. Continuing beyond it needs suitable local guidance and protection.
  • Harvest and clearing durations are planning allowances. A successor waits for the final preceding batch to clear; actual crop progress may move those dates.

Fall plans use a 14-day buffer beyond estimated maturity. Successors wait for the final preceding batch, including its harvest allowance and clearing period. The lifecycle shows those crop-specific windows; the zone must actually be empty. Minimum sun and root-space thresholds are planning limits, with cultivar and climate variation.
