It looks like my cilantro/coriander is already starting to bolt and it’s a very small plant. Any advice on how to handle this?

I had the same issue and I haven’t been able to harvest. I moved to to a more shaded area and I cut the flowers off because I don’t want my cilantro to flower yet): I hope it works for me

It looks well watered. That’s my only advice.
