Herbs from My Garden: Parsley

I sowed parsley seeds early in spring, and now throughout the summer I have a splendid, versatile herb to my dispose. I have limited space in my backyard, and I am a beginning gardener, so I am experimenting with planting locations for my vegetables and herbs. I sowed parsley in a moderately sunny location. The soil in my garden has not been fertilized, yet the seedlings came up well and developed into beautiful dark green herb. I harvest it regularly by cutting outer stems about one inch above the soil. I add fresh finely chopped parsley to soups and casseroles; I use it in grain and pasta dishes, and, of course, in salads.
