Parsley
The frilly kind may have gone out of fashion but flat-leaved parsley is widely served as an addition or garnish because it has more flavour than its more ornate relative and it is really easy to grow in fairly rich soil.
Sow seeds between March and June where you want it to crop or in small pots which can be planted out later and thinned out when the seedlings are large enough. Water the plants regularly and give them a liquid feed every few weeks, removing yellowing leaves and replacing the plants when they run to seed.
If you’re growing parsley on your windowsill, sow new seeds every three months and you should have parsley all year round as it’ll continue growing throughout the winter months.
Parsley is usually treated as an annual, although it will come up again in the second year but it won’t do as well and tends to run to seed early.
