Flat-Leaf Parsley

Not garnish — a green, peppery backbone. The herb that lifts the couscous. Nearly indestructible.

Care

Slow to germinate — soak seeds overnight to speed it. A biennial, so it survives mild winters and only bolts its second spring. Cut outer stems at the base and it keeps giving for months.

Watch for

  • very slow germination
  • swallowtail caterpillars (usually worth sharing)

Plant near

  • tomatoes
  • chives
  • asparagus
