Parsley

[maggiebee]

Has anyone grown parsley in pots? Would love to try, so looking for some advice.

I have but not from seed, I just replanted them from the garden centre pots into large pots with other herbs and they have continued to grow just fine.

Yep. I've got a pot in the garden that has parsley in it. It started growing again from last year's plant. Easy to grow, just put it in soil and water regularly

[maggiebee]

Thanks folks, hadn't thought of buying a plant. Good idea as I heard they're difficult to grow from seed.

Garden centres will do them for little more than a pound - I have even planted ones from the supermarket.

[ummmm]

I've planted the ones you can buy from the supermarket. They grow fine until I forget to water them.

You can buy them in pots in Waitrose, and I guess in other supermarkets too, for around £1.40 a pot.
I prefer the flat leaf variety. (more than just a garnish)
Bring the pot/s in at night, until they've acclimatized otherwise a sunny kitchen windowsill for convenience.
