Parsley!

[Smowball]

Ok, so I have literally grown it from a seed - I have a fully grown plant which I have used and cut off many leaves for cooking.even yesterday, for homemade meatballs. My question is, will it survive outdoors in winter or do I need to bring it inside?? Bearing in mind this has grown literally from a seed x

All plants are grown from a seed arent they?

The frost will see it off I'm afraid.. We currently have a whole square metre of it growing outside. We know we will lose it, so we have just sown some more to try it out during the winter. It will be grown in a polly tunnel .. We hope!
Most herbs are started from seed, they don't need special treatment and they aren't anything out of the ordinairy. If you happen to have a lot of it, just google 'Freeze Parsley'.. Then you can use every last leaf.

I'd bring it in if it's in a pot...it's soft stemmed and not hardy as far as I know.
If you like rosemary, that will be fine over winter.

Our small parsley patch often keeps going all winter unless we have very severe weather.

That's encouraging .. ours has always dissapeared in winter. We haven't tried it before, so by growing inside in the polytunnel there is a good chance it may survive.

It's classed as a biennial, so if it is warm enough to survive the winter, it should flower and set seed in its 2nd year, before it dies.
