I always have parsley growing, the curly kind. There is no room in my
garden for that flat stuff. We have mild enough winters (no snow and
no frost) that herbs not only survive but grow, albeit slowly.

OT about snow. In July I am taking my granddaughters (age 8 & 9) to
visit my brother on the other side of the country (Canberra). He lives
a couple of hours away from the Snowy Mountain ski fields so we are
planning a couple of visits to the snow. Very exciting for two little
girls that have never seen snow.
