Brought it home and kept it in a good location. It began growing and sending out babies and became so large I had to build a special stand for it. I kept it for a few more years and eventually sold it for $40.00 at our garage sale. Big money for the time.<br /><br />Kept it moist using a hand sprayer that I sprayed water on it once each day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-44184480125338208622010-11-02T08:14:40.386-04:002010-11-02T08:14:40.386-04:00Jill ~ the parsley is on my desk, which will get t...Jill ~ the parsley is on my desk, which will get the morning sun.
