We are down to one plant in the garden. We do not get misty weather at this time of year. The handbook Loosecanon pointed me to is very interesting (thanks) and I guess one of the problems in there is the one I am experiencing, but it is hard to nail it exactly. I have now bought some Italian parsley and will see how that goes. We got our plants from our local Harris Farm Market in Bowral. We got an enormous number of plants, so gave many to the daughter in Wollongong and they are powering on, so it is a problem here, not the seedlings themselves. We will persevere. cheers, Pete
