Sow: Sow 10mm deep in damp good organic seed compost at a temperature of 18-20°C from February onwards indoors and from March onwards outdoors after the last frost. Parsley seedlings do not transplant well so growing in pots is a good option.

Harvest: June to October. Picking leaves regularly will also encourage new leaf growth.
