Farming Friends & TopVeg have collaborated to create a How To Grow Parsley card.
How2GroParsley
The card may be downloaded, printed off and pinned to the potting shed wall as a useful reference on how to grow parsley.
We hope that children, as well as established vegetable gardeners, will find this useful, as they can grow parsley in their section of the vegetable garden, and contribute a useful ingredient to turkey stuffing!.
If you would like a pdf of the grow card for How to Grow Parsley, please complete the contact form asking for the grow card for parsley and we will email it to you.
- parsley
There are 2 varieties of parsley:
- parsley-for-cutting
Parsley:
* rich in vitamin C – has 3 times more than oranges
* has almost as much vitamin A as cod liver oil
* stems contain more flavour + vitamins than the foliage
* harvest stems from the outside of the plant so young growth in the centre can flourish
* prefers semi-shade & rich, well-worked soil
* sow seeds at any time throughout the year
* germination is slow, helped by bruising the seed or covering with boiling water
* over-winters well
Parsley is included in the How to Grow Culinary Herbs ebook written by TopVeg & Farming Friends which costs £3.

The How to Grow Parsley sheet is a useful guide to grow parsley.

A campaign to promote British grown herbs is being launched by growers
to show the benefit & easiness of a homecooked meal containing fresh
herbs. Fresh herbs are easy to use and benefit health.
Basil, parsley and coriander are the UK’s three most popular herbs. They are all easy to grow in the garden.
Freezing herbs or drying herbs are options for using any surplus herbs in the garden.

* Parsley has grown well in this mild winter.
* It benefits from constant clipping.
* Cut off the outer stems.
* Discard any that are not perfect – green and young
parsley-for-cutting
* Wash well under cold water
* Shake dry
* Place in a freezer bag & seal
* Label ‘parsley’
* Put in freezer to freeze
* Crush bag when frozen
* Fine, chopped parsley comes out of the crushed bag.
* Just take the amount required from the bag & place the remainder
back in the freezer.
* Use as a garnish, or in soups, sauces or casseroles – no need to
defrost first.
Freezing parsley is an easy way to get chopped parsley as the frozen parsley is easily crushed to form small pieces.
