Your basil has started looking tired, the tomatoes are slowing down, and the first chilly nights have arrived. But one herb in your garden might still be producing fresh green leaves while everything else prepares for winter. Parsley is surprisingly resilient when temperatures drop, making it one of the most useful herbs to keep growing during fall.
Unlike heat-loving basil, parsley actually prefers relatively cool growing conditions. Its ability to tolerate light frost means gardeners can sometimes continue harvesting well after other summer herbs have finished producing.
