🌞 How to Grow

-
Sow ¼ inch Deep into well-prepared, moist soil.
-
Thin Seedlings: Once grown, space to 6 inches apart to promote airflow and growth.
💧 Care Tips

Watering: Keep evenly moist — parsley doesn’t like drying out.
-
Feeding: Monthly feeding with liquid compost or seaweed extract helps maintain lush growth.
-
Pinch Flowers: Remove flower stalks to extend the life of the plant.
-
Container Friendly: Grows beautifully in pots and windowsill planters.
🌼 Growing Sustainably
-
Cold Hardy: Can survive light frosts — great for extending the harvest season.
-
Pollinator Friendly: If left to flower in year 2, parsley supports hoverflies and beneficial insects.
-
Low Waste: Use leaves, stems, and roots (as flavour base in soups or broths).
✂️ Harvesting
-
Begin harvesting when plants reach 6–8 inches tall.
-
Pick outer leaves first, allowing inner growth to continue.
-
Regular harvesting promotes fresh regrowth and fuller plants.
Tip: For best flavour and nutrition, harvest early in the day.
❄️ Overwintering
-
In mild winters, plants may survive with mulch or fleece protection.
-
Alternatively, grow in pots and bring indoors to a bright, frost-free area.
