Gloria,

I agree with you completely, but both my flat leaf and my curly parsley came
back this spring like crazy. We have been doing a little traveling, and I
have to just chop it back and throw it away, so I get the new tender shoots.
I have my basil going well for this year. I love chives, and it grows very
well, and I can usually harvest some almost year round.

Have you been to the new Houston's Denver for dinner. We went Saturday, and
it was very good. A few rough edges still, they really should be doing
better. We have enjoyed Houston's in other cities. Overall, it was an
excellent meal.
