I certainly don't use an awful lot of parsley, so the one pot rescued
from the reduced section of the supermarket will probably be enough
to establish some in the 'herb garden'. Most of it was used up before
planting, as we like homemade parsley sauce with steamed or baked fish.
I also chopped a few leaves for freezing and dried a few leaves for
future use, so it was 19p well spent if the remainder takes root and
grows. It appears to have rooted alright as there are new leaves clearly
visible now. It's protected in it's own mini-cloche made from a 2 litre
plastic lemonade bottle with the base cut off - we use the bases as
mini jelly moulds, seed trays and mini-cloches for seedlings now.

It's now 21/03/09
and the above has been chopped, dug up, repotted twice, moved
house and survived a winter under a plastic tub. This is the same
little parsley plant that was 'rescued' for 19p from the supermarket
clearance shelf in April 2008.
I also planted
a second tub in the greenhouse.
