Hi stephanie, it sounds like your coriander is starting to 'go to seed'. As the plant is now putting most of its energy into setting flowers and therefore seeds, its leaves are consequently diminishing, both in size and taste (often becoming more bitter/less flavoursome). This is triggered by warmer temperatures. I understand the best way to try and get around this is to plant your seedlings in say a styrofoam box which enables you to move 'your garden' around: you want the seedlings to only get the morning sun.
