Watering
Parsley prefers consistently moist soil, so it's essential to keep the soil consistently damp. Water the plants when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Provide a thorough watering, allowing excess water to drain away. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely between waterings to ensure a continuous supply of fresh parsley leaves.
Harvesting
To harvest parsley start by snipping outer leaves, leaving the inner ones to develop. Use scissors or pruning shears to cut near the base, avoiding damage to the central stem. Regular harvesting promotes a bushier and healthier parsley plant.
Culinary/ Uses
Parsley is a great in salads, soups, and as a garnish.
