Forget it. It is a biennial, and will flower, seed and die. She
needs to plant some more. If she plants some every year, then
she should always have some for use, except in the depths of
winter. In theory - some of us are not good at growing it ....

Nick is right, sow fresh every year.........................

ON PARSLEY AND WOMAN POWER

1883 - "Where parsley grows in the garden, the missus is the master."

1905 - Where the mistress is the master, The parsley grows the faster.

1969 - It is still a widely held.....belief that parsley...flourishes best
either when sown by the housewife rather than by her husband, or in gardens of
homes where she is "master".
