31 Mar 13 doug (Australia - temperate climate)
We live in the Riverland of South Australia with a temperate zone. Hot summers Can get to 45 degrees in summer. Over the past say fifty years our family and friends here have grown parsley successfully. In the Spring time many seeds have come up so we have all had parsley.growing very well. Over the past two years or so no one around here has have seeds come up on their own the next season.Sown packet seed is almost impossible to germinate and if so plants will not grow more than two to three inches high. What is the problem. We are devastated. Last spring I planted seed. some came up but never grew beyond the three inches high with around three sets of leaves.
