38. We bought one cilantro plant about 8 years ago. We'll never be without it.

It reseaded and will continue to resead forever. It owns aobut 25 feet of our garage side rose area. We harvest more cilantro and it's seed (coriander) than we could possibly use, but it will never go away. We consider that a good thing. We grow tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley, and adding cilantro completes the totally home-grown salsa.
