How to dry Parsley

The message
from iljunk (Yamxs850) contains these words:
How do I dry my crop of Parsley for Winter use. do I use leaves and
stocks or
just the leaves.
For garnish or sauce, just use leaves. Use stalks for making stock.
I find frozen parsley keeps a better taste and colour than dried. To
freeze, rinse the heads, pat dry, fill a plastic bag with whole heads,
seal and freeze. When it's frozen, you can either keep it that way (I
do) or save space by squashing the bag around a bit until the contents
look like chopped parsley. I prefer to keep the heads frozen whole
then take out as much as I need and crumble the leaves between my
fingers before they defrost.
Similar method here, I freeze portions in bank bags, whip one out of the
freezer, quick smack, and it's perfect for sauce
