I'm in central Virginia and we've had plenty of freezing weather, including still overnight now (April 2, 2019). They are very bushy but seem quite healthy. I will state for the record I prefer the taste of curly over flat which I find less flavorful... perhaps Christian Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191941744672370827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861562129126489326.post-15508712687199390372016-05-08T23:18:18.846-04:002016-05-08T23:18:18.846-04:00Congratulations!

You'll likely get a few leaves and plenty of viable seeds. To help the seeds sprout more easily, soak them in hot water.The Herb Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582909620746871601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861562129126489326.post-28111777992871426292016-05-08T18:27:14.492-04:002016-05-08T18:27:14.492-04:00I just went out to my garden and was do surprised ...I just went out to my garden and was do surprised that I have 2 large parsley plants.

It will sprout a little, set seed and die off next spring.

I have a lovely bushy curly parsley plant in a pit on my patio that my mother in law gave me this summer, I know she grew it herself but I don't know how old it is. I was wondering if it will survive a Herefordshire winter outside or whether I should cut it all and freeze it so have a good supply of parsley over the winter?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441197960283878822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861562129126489326.post-89935355861542170092015-04-14T04:00:29.791-04:002015-04-14T04:00:29.791-04:00Thanks for this really helpful post.

Yellow leaves on your parsley can mean a number of things: overcrowding, inconsistent watering, too much water (wet roots), too little water, too few nutrients in the soil, over-fertilizing. It's a long list. <br /><br />Start by changing some simple things, like your watering schedule: Water every day around the base of the plant to give it a deep soaking.

If it's the first year, they'll leaf out all summer and set seed next year. If you find you have more parsley than you can use: Freeze cleaned, chopped leaves in ice cubes, then transfer the cubes to freezer bags for long term storage. You can use the leaves in soups and stewsThe Herb Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582909620746871601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861562129126489326.post-56474955216471614642012-05-07T16:25:19.942-04:002012-05-07T16:25:19.942-04:00My garden became overrun with Italian parsley over...My garden became overrun with Italian parsley over winter. I'm not sure if my daughter really planted that many last spring or whether it seeded itself last growing season. They all have lots of usable foilage.
