Re: What am I doing wrong?
the smaller the pot, the more affected the plant is by heat. I learned that from my container garden experiment a few years back.
Cilantro starts to bolt once it hits about 80-85. I live in an area where its almost useless to grow cilantro (unless you're purposefully growing it for coriander seeds) You might get better results if you grow it inside the house in a window.
Besides that i'm not sure how to help you. Basil is usually really, really hardy. If it starts to wilt, you just water it and it usually perks right up. Perhaps in the heat, it should be shaded more? I'm not sure. I'm pretty new at gardening as well
