Expecting Too Much From Cilantro

Here's where my story begins.

I start with a small cilantro plant and

it grows into this beauty.

I was happily adding fresh chopped cilantro to my Mexican dishes. 

The taste of cilantro grows on you. 

Soon my cilantro starts to looks pathetic and begans to die. 

My oregano continues to grow.

What am I doing wrong? My other herbs were thriving.

the farmers market listened to my story.

Sitting on the tailgate of his pick-up truck, 

he tilted his hat back and said

"you're expecting too much from cilantro."

There you have it. It's not me, it's you.

I think there's a life lesson here.

Cheers!
