Frequently asked questions
When do you sow parsley?
Directly into the bed direct sow april-july — there is no indoor phase for parsley.
When are parsley ready to harvest?
June-October, in a typical year for this climate.
Do the parsley dates change with the weather?
Yes — the window follows the frost dates of your plot. A coastal garden runs a week or two earlier; an inland frost pocket later. The published windows are the reference, your soil thermometer is the truth.
