Annette Berlin presents Thrift in the Household–Frugal Journey posted at Frugal Journey. Instead of buying parsley week after week, why not buy a pot of it? It is ornamental and grows nicely in any sunny window and may be grown in winter in a box in the cellar by a window if it has the sunlight. Parsley is hard to start, but after it has been potted it grows well.
