did you know?

For such a humble herb, parsley's history is shrouded in danger and death. According to an old folktale, the seeds must travel to hell and back before they germinate. The ancient Greeks, who dedicated the herb to their hero Archemorus, believed that parsley grew where the blood of Archemorus was spilled when he was eaten by serpents.

garden hint:

If you see a green caterpillar with black stripes eating your dill or parsley, let it be -- it will soon mature into a swallowtail butterfly.
