My cilantro plants have grown to be about 18 inches tall. On the bottom are the thicker green leaves, in the middle there are thin wispy leaves, and on top there are small white flowers. What are the flowers? Can they be used? Were should I cut them down? And how do I dry/store each part? I would like to use the cilantro in fresh salsa but the rest of the garden, of course, is not ready for harvest. Any ideas on how to keep it fresh until then?
