PARSLEY PLANTS HAVE LOVELY YELLOW FLOWERS
Years ago I discovered, accidentally, how beautiful parsley plants are when they have bolted and been allowed to go to flower and seed. This year I had an old parsley in a pot that had actually survived our last winter, sitting in a heavy terracotta pot on the outside kitchen window ledge, somewhat sheltered from strong winds. I bought a new plant, full of fresh leaves to use in the kitchen for salads etc, and decided to plant the old plant in the border (you have to respect a survivor!).
Now seedheads have formed, it makes a lovely addition. I just stuck it in a spare bit of ground between two solar lights, and it seems to be getting along well with its neighbours. Waste not want not, right?
