Cilantro is a finicky herb! My cilantro is looking brown too, and I pamper them. Thing is, cilantro likes cooler weather - which it doesn't get a lot of in Bakersfield! I had my best success growing them in pots indoor by the window. After some insect came by in the dead of night and ate all my herbs a couple years ago, I've taken to growing them inside "herb cages" - which is just some big wooden boxes with insect screen netting sides and hinged top that we built. We just started calling then "herb cages". Works fantastically - nothing eats my 'erbs, watering them through the screen is easy, and opening the top to harvest herbs is a snap. The herb cages are on the patio, though, where it is cooler and they only get morning sun. It takes some tweaks to get it right!
