Pruning parsley?
Thanks Nick,
One further question, since only the leaves are used, is there a way to ensure a compact, bushy plant, albeit one that seeds and dies? I had always expected herbs to be somewhat low lying wheras this seems to be making a bid to be architectural! Paul DS. "Nick Maclaren" wrote in message ... In article , "Paul D.Smith" writes: | | My wife has successfully (maybe too successfully!) grown some parsley. It's | now about 2 feet high and growing.

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 .... Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
