Tomatoes and Weeds

I blogged about my garden earlier this year, so I am updating y'all on it's progress.  Everything is growing like crazy!  Especially the weeds!  I was away for a few days and worried that everything would die.  Fortunately a friend of mine agreed to water for me.  So when I got home, I was pleased to be greeted by flower pots in full bloom instead of dead and dried up plants. In addition to the flowers, the weeds were in full bloom!  I pulled out what I could quickly and will have to get in there with a hoe this weekend. I went to the side of the house to check on my tomatoes, and as I suspected, they got so heavy with green tomatoes, that they had fallen over!  I had prop them all up using wooden posts.  So once again, I found myself gardening in the dark!  It took some muscle a few bug bites and about 45 minutes to get them standing up again!  The basil is doing fantastic, but I can't figure out what is up with my cilantro.  Any ideas on how to get cilantro to grow and flourish?  Mine is just so sickly looking!  I also planted a blueberry bush, but it looks like I will have to buy a net for it because the birds ate all the ripe blueberries of course!  So all in all the garden is a success, except for the darn cilantro.  So any one with cilantro growning tips HELP!
