Growing Organic Moss Curled Parsley in the Herb Garden
Sow seeds directly 0.25 inch deep in rows, spacing plants 6-8 inches apart (rows 12-18 inches), or start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost and transplant when soil is at least 60 F. Provide moist, well-drained, fertile soil in full sun or partial shade.
Maintain consistently moist soil; mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly every 4-6 weeks. Harvest regularly by snipping outer leaves, encouraging bushier regrowth; watch for pests such as aphids or leaf miners and treat as needed.
Harvesting Organic Moss Curled Parsley
Begin harvesting when plants reach about 10-12 inches tall, snipping the outer curled leaves near the base to promote continuous growth. Harvest in the morning when oils are strongest.
