PARSING PARSLEY FACTS
Growing parsley as an herb
and vegetable originated around the Mediterranean Sea thousands
of years ago.
Parsley is a member
of the same family as carrots. When growing parsley, be aware that the same
pests afflict them similarly.
Growing parsley for tea is
recommended by Chinese and German herbologist for the controlling of high blood
pressure.

WHEN
TO PLANT
It takes about 70 to
90 days for planting and growing parsley from the time the seeds are planted
until harvesting time, depending on your climatic conditions.
If you live in a
Northerly climate, its best to plant your seeds in trays indoors, then transplant
them into your garden or herb garden after the danger of frost is past.
You'll want to start
growing parsley indoors about 6 or 8 weeks ahead of the last frost.
In Southern climates
you can seed several times throughout your growing season to achieve ongoing
harvesting from April until December.
In most climate areas
in the mainland U.S., parsley can be over-wintered and harvested in the early
spring.
If you plant too early
in the spring, a cold snap might cause the plant to bolt (go to seed) early.

WHERE
TO PLANT
Parsley prefers at
least 6 to 8 hours of full sun daily, and does well with some shade as long as
it gets the sun it needs.
In warmer climates,
some afternoon shade is preferable.
Parsley actually does
best in cooler climate areas, and grows best in rich, moist, but well-drained
soil.
6.
PREPARING
YOUR SOIL
While parsley grows
best in a pH between 6.0 and 7.0, it will tolerate well pH levels between 5.3
and 7.3.
Parsley needs a good
supply of nitrogen (N) to grow green quickly and produce flowers and seeds
Phosphorus (P) in your
soil encourages strong roots and rapid growth in parsley.
Potassium, or Potash (K),
aids in fighting disease, photosynthesis, and building of protein in parsley.
All of these nutrients
are organically available in compost, composted manure, bone meal, and blood
meal among others.
Check the pH level of
your soil with a tester. If you need to make it more alkaline, add lime. To
make it more acidic, add sulphur.
To prepare your ground
for planting parsley, layer about 2 to 4 inches of composted manure and/or
compost (you can also add bone meal and blood meal) where your rows will be and
till it into the soil to about 6 inches deep.
Rake the row areas
until smooth, remove any stick or rocks or other debris, and break up any dirt
clods.

Clean, slice thinly and skip mushrooms, in the oil of olive. Season and add the
scallion, the parsley and the garlic. Blend long before to blow up. Add the
brown bottom and be fond of heat without cooking, complicate possibly of a net
of lemon juice. Season the nets of omble, then make them roast in the oil of
