SOWING: Sow seed directly outdoors from as soon as soil is workable. May be seeded directly outdoors in full sun or partial shade.  Cover with 1/8 to 1/4 inch fine soil.  Leave 16 to 18 inches between rows.  Keep soil moderately moist during germination. To speed germination, soak seed in warm water for 24 hours before planting.  (Can be grown  indoors or outdoors. )

THINNING: Thin to 6 inches apart when seedlings are 2 inches high. Does not transplant well.

Harvest: Harvest leaves continually during the growing season to encourage new growth.  Harvest larger sprigs off plants as they mature.  To dry, harvest before flowering, dry leaves in a cool dry place. Store in airtight containers.  (Plants are quite cold hardy and can usually be harvested into the winter.)

SUGGESTIONS:   To speed germination, soak seed in warm water for 24 hours before planting. Parsley grows best in a mostly sunny location with relatively rich, moist, well drained soil.  Plants are quite cold hardy and can usually be harvested into the winter.
