I've just recently potted some Afro parsley, which was eaten by a possum, and now an Italian leaf parsley, which just last night was eaten by a possum. My question is that because it leaves the stems, can my parsley keep growing with new leaves?

I have a possum that reigns over our our back garden because of a liquid amber, in Australia possums are protected. luckily it leaves the front and side gardens alone, only works if you have room. the palsy should come back. cutting of a few steams so it has less to keep alive may work as it did on my passion fruit.

Yes, it will probably sprout from the base. Also, you could have delicious parsley-flavoured roast possum!

I have a little possum problem. He takes mint, passion fruit leaves, bean leaves but not the beans, strawberries and geraniums. All mine have grown back. I have even taken to hanging some plants where it is impossible for him to get to now as I haven't gotten a strawberry yet. I would move the plant ant see what happens.
