Flat Leaf Parsley already?

[Nicos]

I was surprised to see my FLP had survived too- it didn't last year...(how long can they live for? last years was 2 yrs old?)

Interesting plants sarr!

I thought they were biennials

They are usually biennial and are not as 'lush' in their second year then go to that great nursery in the sky. If you are lucky you can get seed or they may even self seed but I think without a bit of faffing about that is unusual.

Biennial then!..that would account for it dying last winter- I thought it was the -14C that saw it off- hence the surprise at seeing last years plant survive!
I did save some of the seeds in the Autumn- so I'll get those sown.
Thanks

Just looked outside the kitchen window,FL Parsley looking ok with some new shoots popping up!

Originally purchased from supermarket as a "growing herb " and planted in my herb bed.

The Flp I have planted out inthe plot is sending up new growth through the scraggy leaves affected by the recent snow and frost. Interestingly, I have a clump growing in an old bucket (also sown last year), that I moved into the cold greenhouse just before the cold snap and that is not doing half as well!

I find FLP very tough,mine has lasted well all winter and like 2 sheds given us at least one portion per week. I re sow every year so as one lot is fading another is coming along behind.

You need to put your squishing fingers on a diet so you can get further down to squish! A squirt with a pyrethrum spray should finish off the blighters you can't reach. It's a non-systemic spray, and they tell us that after just 24 hours you can harvest again.
