How to Grow Parsley
Parsley is native to the Mediterranean, however it is now a widely cultivated herb. It is quite easy to grow parsley as long as you follow a few tips. It would be classed as an 'easy to grow' herb, not much skill required.
Parsley is a biennial. Meaning that it will flower and go to seed in its second year in the garden, so you replant every 2nd year to continue to enjoy fresh home grown parsley all the time. It does well in a cool environment, and not in full sunlight in the hot days of summer.
To ensure a good harvest of parsley, make sure the soil can retain moisture or mulch it well. Parsley does not like dry sandy soil, but a rich, moist environment.
If you are growing parsley from seed, it takes 3 weeks or longer to germinate, but parsley plants are usually available in your local garden center or nursery.
Growing parsley is not limited to a garden and does well in pots as long as the soil is rich and can retain water. Prepare to water frequently if you use a clay pot as they tend to dry out the soil.
