Notes

Summer 2014 - Fried

Epic fail this year. Planted Lacy French in our deck rail planters along with some Rosemary. The Rosemary is doing well but the parsley turned a crispy yellow and promptly gave up. Next year I'll try planting it on it's own so that I can more it around until it's happy.

Summer 2013 - Ok, I Guess

Planted Italian Dark in the deck rail planter and it did ok, it didn't last he whole season and I didn't use it as much as I was expecting. Going to have to try something new next season. Maybe a different variety?
