Parsley is is fairly easy to grow if you follow a few guidlines:

Growing Parsley from seed
All parsley is grown from seed as once it seeds it dies. In the home garden parsley can be grown from seed sown directly into the ground or into pots or from seedlings. When growing parsley from seed sow the seed and be patient, as parsley seed takes a while to germinate. Seed can be 'scarified' to hasten the process. Pour so boiling water over the seed and leave over night and plant directly the next day.

Where to Grow Parsley:
Parsley requires about 6 hours of sun a day to do well, similar to many leafy herbs and vegetables. Parsley prefers a humus rich well drained soil (but moisture holding soil is required, not dry soil). Parley can also be grown in pots

  • If you are growing parsley in pots or containers make sure that they drain freely.
  • Parsley may be grown from seed started indoors or in a cold frame, or from seedlings.
  • Make sure that you keep parsely moist but not wet.
  • Fertilize parsley with a liquid fertilizer every 3 weeks, we use a seaweed based organic fertilizer.
  • Once parsley 'goes to seed', dig it up and replant.
  • If you are keen to adjust the soils ph to ideal, try a phof 6.0 -7.0 as arange

Types of Parsley.

Parsley comes in two types

  • Curley leafed parsley.
  • Italian Parsley : Flat leafed parsley. This has a slightly milder taste and is a little easier to grow.

Parsley can be harvested with a pair of scissors, just remember to leave some leaves so the plant can regrow.
