Parsley
Parsley, also known as, petroselinum crispum, is a fine addition for any herb garden. There are two types of Parsley. The tupes-curled has tightly curled foliage, while the Italian curled, has broad, flat leaves and a stronger flavor. Parsley is primarily used as a garnish. Add Parsley to soups, potatoes, omelets and salads of any kind.
It is best to plant the seeds in early spring in rich soil. Parsley can be harvested as soon as the plants are about six inches tall. You can store the leaves fresh in a jar in the refrigerator or you can dry out the leaves for later use.
Parsley requires a rich soil containing lime. In order to thrive the soil this herb is planted in must be kept moist, but well drained. Using mulch can help retain moisture.
