HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Most gardeners sow parsley seed indoors to give the plants a head start; soak the Hamburg rooted parsley seeds overnight, then plant them 1/4" deep and keep them at 65-70 degrees F. Because parsley has a notorious habit of slow germination, don't expect to see sprouts for 3-5 weeks. Keep the soil evenly moist. Transplant the seedlings when the average outdoor soil temperature reaches 60 degrees F, spacing them 6" apart in full sun or partial shade.
Growing: Parsley has shallow roots, and should not be allowed to dry out for long. Mulch to help conserve moisture and control weeds.
Harvesting: Harvest the leaves as needed, taking the large outer leaves first and removing at least 10" of stem with the leaves to keep the plant healthy. The whole plant can be harvested at once, cutting it off just above ground level; more leaves will grow. Use the leaves immediately or freeze to preserve freshness. The white roots, similar to parsnips, can be harvested at any time and stored in the refrigerator.
Seed Saving: Though most varieties of parsley can survive below zero temperatures when mulched well, another method of overwintering is to dig up the entire plant, cut down the tops to 2", and keep the roots in sand; keep them in a 32-40 degrees F location until spring replanting. Watch the developing seed heads carefully, since they tend to shatter easily; pick each one as it becomes dry and mature. Additional drying time may be needed. Clean the seed by rubbing the heads through a screen or shaking them. Store the Hamburg rooted parsley seeds in a cool, dry place for up to 4 years.

best parsley ever
This is parsley of my childhood. this is the only variety I grew up with. I tried to grow different parsley but this one is the best. And the best part of it is that it does not bolt during our hot Sacramento CA summers. I planted it last year in March and only now, year later, I have to replant it again. It grows old after a while. But it provided me with steady supply of fresh parsley for the whole year. Also I use the roots for cooking or just raw eating. They are very nutritious.
