Diane - has anyone ever tried to can pesto.  there are some little ball jars that would make a great size.  Is this possible?

I know you can freeze pesto before you add cheese, but i've never heard of canning it.

Christene, about the cilantro--if the flowers are just forming, pinch them off and try to find (create) some shade for your plants. If they are too far gone, you can let the seeds develop and then harvest them--coriander!

I wouldn't recommend canning pesto, per se, but you can pack it into jars, pour a little quality olive oil on top--enough to cover well--then store in a cool place. It should last as long as the oil stays fresh. If you have a vacuum sealer (FoodSaver has a mason jar attachment) that would be ideal.

Hi everyone!  I am starting an herb garden this spring, and my herbal seeds have begun to germinate indoors.  I don't see any "true leaves" yet, just the first leaves, but they are growing to a height of about 3 inches each, give or take a half an inch.  Is it too soon to transplant?  I am in Zone 9 (tropical) so there is no danger of frost any more and most of my other plants are already outdoors.  A fresh bed is waiting for them with liner and soil prepared, and I am getting impatient.  What say you all?  Thanks in advance!
