My parsley is also still going strong. Much stronger this year than any
year I can recall in fact. Go figure?
My mother could keep a bed of it alive for ever. I'm limited to doing it
in large deck pots at the moment and it seems to be thriving on benign
neglect.
My cilantro petered out a couple of months ago, as did my basil.
