It could take a couple of weeks for parsley to germinate. Follow the seed packet instructions. I'm planning to sow heirloom tomato seeds and I always grow lettuces from seeds.
Inspired by both of you Don & Jo Ellen. Thanks for posting, would you share what seeds you are sowing this gardening season?
Parsley has gone a week now without germinating, when do you know to start over with a fresher batch of seeds?
I will definitely check out the site, this year I am doing something different with the garden, reducing the square footage and utilizing containers. I will be blogging the results at http://www.dnlemmon.blogspot.com
Good for you, Don. Sounds like you're ready. I'm definitely ready for the big melt.

Snow pack good for spring bulbs and perennials

Ice, snow may damage tree limbs, shrubs
Resist the temptation to knock the snow and ice from the limbs of trees or shrubs. Doing so may cause even more damage. More tips at the Hoosier Gardener.

Ellen said… - Jo Ellen, Hello! I wanted to say a big thank-you for the revised edition of Indiana Gardener's Guide. I had only purchased the book last spring, and consider it among one of my most valuable gardening bibles for Indiana, to date. It sure came in handy while working at a 22-acre plant nursery that included most if not all of the plant representations in the book, so I used it as a reference for a lot of my customers that wanted to know for sure if a particular planting was zoned for this area. I just pulled the book from the shelf yesterday and am gearing up for another full growing season!
