Once our seedlings are in your hands, it‘s time to get planting. What I like about parsley (both the curly and Italian variety) is that it can be grown in virtually anything. It loves a big herb or vege garden, of course, flourishing in a sunny, well-drained spot. But it does just as well in a small pot on the windowsill, or in a hanging basket with something like polyanthus or strawberries around the outside. Coriander also loves full sun (at this time of year) and a well-drained spot in the garden, but unlike parsley, doesn’t thrive well on the windowsill. You can, however, get away with a large, deep pot on the

deck. Just make sure you water it in the morning so it can dry off during the day and avoid getting damp. What you might not know is that it’s best to eat parsley and coriander as soon as they’re ready, as they both go to seed. That’s why I suggest you plant a new seedling every few weeks or couple of months to keep these staple herbs in ready supply. Just pop in to one of our retail stockists or head to our online store to replenish your stock. That way you’ll be adding just the right amount of flavour all year round.
