Well, it's always good see virtual geeks get their hands dirty! I've never had any luck with growing cilantro in the summer either--it's not a hot weather plant and it wants to bolt. My only success has been in planting it in late summer and having it grow in the fall. In fact, even with two feet of snow in much of the (Virginia!) winter, one of the plants survived and kept producing into the spring until the warmer weather came. Good luck with the rest!
