Parsley

Growing from seed

Start Parsley indoors about 8 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in cooler soil (around 10–18 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 21 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in partial sun, spaced about 20 cm apart. Expect to harvest in roughly 70 days.
