🌿 Parsley

Petroselinum crispum

Parsley is sown from March to August, in part shade in summer. Its germination is famously slow — three weeks — but an established plant crops until frost and often beyond.

The tips that matter

  • Soak the seed for 24 h before sowing: emergence drops from 3 weeks to 10 days.
  • Pick the outer stems first — the heart keeps producing.
  • An August sowing under cover gives fresh parsley through most of the winter.
