There are about 50 parsley sprouts up and growing and I am going to
use them for a boarder around the flower bed in the front of my

Whoa. Back up the truck<g>.

Did you plant those in the ground?

I just transplanted mine into a larger pot. I have 10 little seedlings, started in peat pots, and put them in a long window box type planter. They look a bit paler than the other stuff I am growing, and I don't really understand why. They have been under the lights and put outside on warm days... They look better today. I never have gotten parsley seed to a viable plant, but DH planted these and they are doing well.


Since my lettuce man got frozen out when it got down to
almost zero I have been having to buy lettuce. I get the big
container of earthbound mixed greens and the containers are perfect
for starting seeds. Put the lid on and they make perfect little
greenhouses. I took a sharp knife and sliced through the bottom of
the container in several spots and they drain just right. They got
set out on the front south facing steps for a couple of hours today,
as I am trying to grow them without any lights. It works pretty well
except when we have 4 days without sun!

I wish I had that option,,,,all my windows face north....
Good luck and enjoy those figs.
