* 2 varieties of parsley: curled - for garnish; flat-leaved - better flavour
parsley-for-cutting
* 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
