Fresh Cilantro in my Herb Garden

As I was looking for organic vegetables in my favorite farmer's market, I noticed a large cluster of cilantro walking towards me.  Nearly a foot wide and 8" tall, the cilantro had somehow sprouted arms and legs and was literally walking towards me.  As it approached, a face appeared behind the large plant.  It was my husband, he had picked out the plant for my herb garden and was bringing to the counter to buy for me.  I was thrilled. 
Cilantro is a wonderfully bright herb that goes well with so many dishes.  My husband makes a wonderful turkey chili with cilantro.  It's also great in salsa and adds a bright touch to many Mexican dishes.  I use it regularly, so I was pleased to have such a large plant to start.  Cilantro loves sunshine and water.  I have plenty of both so I I hope to have good fortune with my new cilantro plant.
