Parsley
by John Yazo
Parsley is a highly nutritious, rich in vitamins, mainly vitamins A and C, and is one of the most popular herbs grown in the home garden. There are basically two types of parsley, flat leaf and curly leaf. It is from the same family as carrots and celery. Curly leaf is mainly usedfor garnishing and because of it's stronger flavor flat leaf is used for cooking. It is best when fresh, but can be dried or frozen.
Parsley is a biennial, but it is usually treated as an annual and replanted every year. It grows best in full sun and likes moderately rich soil that stays moist but drains well. Parsley is slow to germinate so it is best to start plants indoors and transplant out in the garden once all dangers of frost have past. It can also be planted indoors for year around use.
