Flat Leaf Parsley already?

[HeyWayne]

On tidying up the leaves in the garden (finally) I noticed some Flat Leaf Parsley growing through from beneath the leaves that had accummulated on top of the pots.

Photo on my blog for anyone that's interested.

Surely it's too early and it'll die in the frosts?

Do I move it into the greenhouse (unheated)?

I've got a flat leaf that's been outside all winter. I'm pretty sure it's still there (I've not been up for a fortnight)

If it's growing all by itself (ie without cloches or other artificiality) then it's got to be happy. I'd leave it be

Yes, my three pots of flat leaved parsley survived the cold and snow and are growing happily outside. tough stuff, parsley!

My curled parsley has flopped a little, but it's still green (and tastey). I'm going to have to dig it up soon though as it's in the potato bed.

My parcel just shook the snow off and popped back up again - wonderful stuff.

I've had parsley self seed and keep going a couple of years. It's jolly hardy stuff.

On advice from a respectable source, I brought my FLP into the house for the winter. It is currently looking very sick but I reckon it will have got so soft that I can't move it back out yet.

Most of my herbs at home are in pots and get moved into an unheated greenhouse over winter. To be honest most of them look pretty good and are still being used quite happily including my flat leaved parsley (can't stand the curly stuff so don't grow it)

It is a surprise that plants can still grow at this time of year, yet daffodils and snow drops are starting to poke through. Even my rhubarb has new leaves bursting out.

That's a shame. Mine is on the cool kitchen windowsill. It's very green & gives me a couple of leaves a week, but keeps getting colonised by aphids who tuck right down into the base of the leaves where my squishing fingers can't quite reach

Our snow is subsiding now and the parsley, rosemary, thyme and sage all seem to have rather enjoyed hiding under it, look fine

That's why I didn't bring mine inside-2 years ago the little b****rs moved from parsley to the other plants-ate chilli,fuchsia and venus flytrap

GreenFLY ate a Dionaea? Get a sarracenia. The little sods don't have a chance.

Sarraceniac,I guess you must have a few carnivorousies yourself(or like them a lot).
First VF was finished off by aphids,the second one is overwintering in the kitchen and looks miserable.I got them because I have loads of flies in the kitchen in the summertime-the back door leading to the garden is opened and VF had plenty of food(with a little help from OH and my eyebrow tweezers).I love VF's they are absolutely amazing plants but I'd love to have sundew.Unfortunately these plants are sun-loving so east facing kitchen window isn't the best for them.

I have Sarracenias and Nepenthes galore. I know I am going off topic but I just want to brag about one of my Nepenthes. I grow everything myself from off-set or seed.
