Parsley is one of the most useful herbs there is and one of the best ways to get green stuff into my husband. I used to buy plants or try to grow it from seed, which sometimes worked, and then the flowers would come up the next year and I would keep cutting them off so I would keep getting leaves for a while, but eventually, I forgot to cut them off. The next year I had hundreds of little parsley plants which I decided to let go to seed as well.
Now around the edge of my lily bed I have a row of parsley. So, during the late spring, fall and summer I have unlimited parsely for me and for my friends. I do the same with Oriental garlic chives, chervil and red Japanese mustard. During lily season, the bed is very lovely. The rest of the year, it looks a little ratty with all those seed stems but it provides us with wonderful salads and garnishes. Here is the bed in lily season. ( Asiatic Lilies)
