Pour hot water over the seeds and let them soak for 24 to 36 hours. The water softens parsley’s tough seed coat to make germination easier.

Parsley is an annual in the North, growing from spring until freezing weather. In milder climates, it is frost-proof and lives through winter.

Flat Leaf vs. Curly Leaf Parsley

dgheaven_02 — 2015-07-24 05:53:36 UTC

Whereas curly parsley can be less tough and thus better suited to fine-chopping, flat parsley has a robust taste that's more ideal for flavoring. Treat it like a seasoning—baked into meatballs, chopped into starches, or kneaded into bread dough—or even as a vegetable snipped into sandwiches, deep-fried and salted as a side dish, or dressed like salad leaves and mixed with toppings like fennel, nuts and seeds or tomatoes.
