I have some volunteer plants in my front island bed. I've been letting it
grow to see what it is, its frilly and green. Today, I decided to smell the
foliage and it smells like parsley. It is short and compact with rather
tuberous roots. Is it possible that parsley has overwintered here in
Colorado Springs? I don't recall planting parsley though.

Yes, it's possible. I'd be careful, though -- some parsley-family members
are poisonous IIRC.

Thats what I have read. I researched and it appears to be parsley, perhaps
my kids were gardening again.
Thanks.
