Parsley
requires full sun and well-drained soil. Parsley is a biennial but it is
usually grown as an annual. In your home garden you can harvest as you require,
picking the outside leaves first.
Parsley can
be dried and then stored in an airtight container for use throughout the
winter. If you have a sunny window, you could also repot a plant and bring it
inside for the winter. I have successfully grown parsley in my miniature indoor
hydroponic garden.
Flat-leaf
parsley (Italian) is used in cooking. It is used in sauces, soups and salads. I
love a bit of parsley in pasta dishes. Curly-leaf parsley (French) is most
often used as a garnish.
Parsley has
lots of nutrients, is rich in antioxidants and just like its carrot cousin it
helps to protect your eyes. Lots of good reasons to grow some parsley in both your
indoor or outdoor gardens.
"Parsley
- the jewel of herbs, both in the pot and on the plate." Albert Stockli
