I have planted out many 'supermarket herbs after I have hardened them off
they always seem to do well on our sandy loam soil.....
But the best thing I ever did with supermarket 'plants' was buy a bag of
'eating' watercress and grow it on in our ntf tanks with our tomatoes.- it
grew all season, producing loads of good tasting foliage - only ended in
november when I emptied the tank.

I also bought some growing parsley (salmon and cauliflower for tea
tomorrow
with cheese sauce :-p), is this stuff hardy? - can I plant some of it
outside, or does it need to go in pots in the GH?


If it's the parsley in pots you get at the supermarket, it doesn't usually
last very long because it's overcrowded. One of the gardening presenters
on TV said the other week that if you split one of these pots of herbs
into three or four parts, it will last much longer. I haven't tried this
yet, but certainly know from experience that just planting out a
supermarket pot of herbs is a recipe for disaster.
