Do you remember how the heat wave we had about a month or so ago killed my parsley?
Well it turns out parsley is more resilient that I expected. I hadn't seen any of the plants go to seed so wasn't expecting any regeneration.
But look!!!!!
Somehow the parsley HAS resprouted in the pot with no intervention from me whatsoever. Hooray for the parsley!!! It lives to be eaten another day. :)
And in other "happy gardener" news. This is what it looked like here today:
Yes, we finally had some RAIN!!! About 5mm which is not enough (yet) for the farmers but will be wonderful for the garden. :)
So I'm doing a happy smiley dance today!

Love that view, not a neighbour in sight. I share a wall with the people in the next unit........
Oh good on you parsley!!! My lemongrass NEARLY did that, but didn't quite accept the second transplant.
That's great, Lightening :)
Ditto River's comment; a fantastic view, makes me want to build on our country block even more ;)
I've just this minute watched a pumpkin segment on Gardening Australia and learnt when harvesting pumpkins you should leave a good length of stalk on each one, this prevents the pumpkin from going soft and mouldy at the stem end so it stores better.
We are blessed with our views here. Before us, nobody lived on this farm and when we decided to move here, we got lots of comments about it being a very pretty place to live. :)
River - thanks for the info on pumpkin. I'm hoping to store a few to use through the winter months.
Congrats goes to your parsley for finding the strength to power through a tough time in it's young life & find the strength to bounce back after such suffering & trauma.....
Good on you Lightening! This post reminded me of our Parsley dad grew when I was younger. I can now remember he would never dig it out but leve it where we would have an abundant amount within a short time. He used to dry it hanging upside down in the garage..... memories *sigh*
I've learnt something from this & the previous post. No matter how much worry we might involve ourselves in with the garden as we learn, if it is a viable & stong plant it will survive! Much like life itself can be :)
Socko - great thoughts! Thanks for sharing them. :)
