Sara,
Parsley is slow to germinate.
I planted seeds around the edge of a pot of violas in late fall. It took so long that I decided the seed was old and wasn't going to grow. One day I saw a few tiny parsley leaves in there, and now it is growing well.
Don't give up!
:)
Blessings,
Catherine Ann

Catherine Ann, thanks for the info. I checked today and still no sign but I'll give it more time before I plant something else in it's place.

Hi girls! Sara - I'm so excited! Yesterday, the temperature hit almost 70 degrees, and the evening forecasts for the coming week are no lower than the mid-40's. 'Feels like we stepped right out of winter and straight into the beginning of summer! Since the next few days will be splattered with thunder showers, my husband and I went out to the raised bed, pulled back the wood chips to reveal the black gold soil that has been awaiting us all winter, and excitedly planted some seeds! We planted carrots, two types of lettuces, spinach, kale, turnips, beets, and a little bit of parsley to fill in where some from last year didn't return. Mother nature is nurturing the garden with gentle rains, the birds are out there, finally able to reach some worms, and the garlic seems to have perked up over night. Good things are sure to come! YES! Spring has sprung! More planting surely to happen over the next couple of weeks! I am happy dancing in Pittsburgh! Hugs - Nini

Went to Kelly's Fruit & Veg Stand yesterday and had a wonderful time. Plants and more plants. His plants are always healthy and grow beautifully for me. Came home with the following plants:
2 chives
1 lemongrass
1 dill
1 'Red Rubin Basil' looked purple to me
1 chocolate mint
1 spearmint
1 Mojito mint ~ Cuban mint (new mint to me)
2 white petunia hanging baskets - one for front porch - the other for Yellow Rose Cottage front porch
The thing I have to remember when I am among so many plants is to buy only what I am willing & able to water in Aug. That keeps my urges to buy more from getting out of hand.
Have a blessed day, Sara

Nina I know you can't wait to dig in your raised beds. Raised beds are popular around here too. I mostly do my growing in containers but have been thinking about a raised bed for east side yard. Maybe next year.
Have a blessed day, Sara

Sara , all of your gardening sounds like fun!! I had to laugh at your comment about watering in August. That month is so hot and miserable down here and most of our summer flowers are just exhausted from the heat even if you water.!! It exhausts me just thinking about that oppressive heat too!! By then I am dreaming of Fall and apples just to bide time and living vicariously through Farmgirls who report the firs cool,evenings!!
