Parsley; a biennial herb, is one of the world's most popular herb. It derives its name from the Greek word meaning "rock celery" (parsley is a relative to celery). Parsley is highly nutritious with a delicious and vibrant taste.
Uses: Parsley is widely used throughout the Caribbean, parsley is popular for garnishing different dishes, it is also used as a seasoning for chicken, fish, lamb and beef. Parsley also adds flavour to beans, rice, soups, potato dishes, pasta, sauces and salads.
Sunlight: Parsley does well in both full and partial sunlight. Indoors, place near a sunny window or sunny patio.
Humidity: Ensure proper air circulation is provided and mist with water weekly.
Soil: Our herb garden contains well drain soil which is ideal for growth. Once per week lightly till the soil around the plant. This achieves aeration which allows air, water and nutrients to penetrate the roots. This helps the roots grow deeply and produce a stronger, more vigorous herb garden.
Water: Parsley grows its best in moist soil, however it is relatively drought-tolerant. Also, be careful not to over water.
Nutrients: Our Herb Garden doesn’t require immediate plant food, as our potting soil already contains a slow-release plant food that can last up to 6 months. If plant food is needed or your herb plant shows signs of stress like yellowing foliage, you can add your favourite compost, or use an organic liquid plant food or a weak solution of an all-purpose water-soluble fertilizer.
Harvest: Harvest the outer leaves together with stems, cut 1 to 2 inches above soil, making sure not to cut off all the plant at once. Continuous harvest will encourage future growth.
