2. I so envy you, in the best possible way!

We're on the West Coast. Just close enough to the coast to get three weeks of cool overcast, interspersed with two weeks of blistering heat, over and over starting in June. Before that it's just not warm enough to get anything going past seedling stage. Few soft stem plants can thrive in it. I keep trying new plants in our garden but we're mostly relegated to cherry tomatoes, zucchini, kale and other herbs that can weather the quick, extreme shifts in weather that stick around long enough to affect plant growth, then abruptly get replaced with the opposite extreme.

That parsley looks beautiful & I'm sure it will greatly enhance so many meals!
