I didn't know anything at all about growing it. I thought it was my cilantro self-seeding until my niece agreed with my sis it was the parsley. After a taste test I knew they were right. It is planted in a very rocky, area at the base of the cistern planter that I could barely dig in. It must like the location, faces east next to the brick edge of the cistern which must store some heat. You might try laying flat stones around the plants to absorb and store the heat.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-33414530137799539602016-11-14T08:05:24.843-06:002016-11-14T08:05:24.843-06:00All my annuals are finished and I want to get them...All my annuals are finished and I want to get them removed before Thanksgiving. They are right by the drive and look very bad.<br /><br />Great idea about the vacuum bags.<br /><br />We have lost so many trees that I have finally gotten used to the bare look in many places. Between tornadoes and ice storms we have lost at least 5.<br /><br />Have a good week.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-27269931303682292712016-11-14T05:56:46.487-06:002016-11-14T05:56:46.487-06:00Good for DH following up on his heart condition an...Good for DH following up on his heart condition and kudos to you for helping him stay on track. I know you love the baking, but needs must. You have so much late growth. We've had several hard freezes the past couple of days so all annuals have been pulled and perennials cut back. It looks so bare in the back without them - and the blue ash tree gone. Bereft and forlorn. I freeze my parsley in vacuum bags and they taste much better than when I used to dry them. Take care.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-89731784445048196072016-11-13T16:22:20.988-06:002016-11-13T16:22:20.988-06:00I've never been able to over-winter parsley. ...I've never been able to over-winter parsley. I mulch it heavily each fall, but it refuses to come up again in the spring. (Poop.) Have you used the chocolate mint for anything? I keep seeing it in our nurseries for sale but have never tried it. Have to admit I laughed when you said Max asked you to bake another chocolate cake for him but you didn't . . . sometimes we just have to say no! (It's for his own good, but goldarn it's hard to pass up something like that, isn't it?)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-84472264318207899592016-11-13T14:51:38.036-06:002016-11-13T14:51:38.036-06:00That cake looks yummy!
