There’s something grounding about knowing exactly when to pick cilantro. It’s a small decision—a snip here, a pinch there—but it connects you to the rhythm of the plant. We rush through so much of life; this herb teaches us to pay attention to the moment.
So next time you’re standing in your garden or even at the market, look for those deep green leaves, cut at dawn, and taste the difference. That tiny, fragrant handful isn’t just garnish—it’s a reminder that timing, in gardening and in life, is everything.
