Growing & Seed Saving Tips

From Adaptive Seeds:

“Sow in clusters indoors March through May after soaking seeds overnight. Transplant groups of three to 12” centers in fertile garden soil when plants are 3” tall. Keep well-watered and harvest leaves as needed. A great choice for winter gardens in our area.

Seed Saving

Collect seeds from 15+ plants in their second year. Cut seedheads when seeds are dry, thresh by hand or by dancing, winnow to clean. Isolate from other flowering parsley (including root & curly parsley) by ¼ mile.”
