Winter Protection
(No User Tips)
If Hamburg root parsley is left
out in the open to overwinter then it must be well covered (e.g. with soil to a depth of 10 cm and with fleece).
Cultivation
(No User Tips)
- Soak the seeds in water at 24°C
- Plant radish or cress to mark the location
- Regularly water until plant shoots emerge. Allowing to dry out even once will endanger successful germination. Then water less.
.
Tips:
- If sown later, the time until harvest will stretch to over two years.
- If the plant looks diseased or if flowers develop, cutting back will encourage vigorous new growth.
Deseases / pests
(No User Tips)
Pests: Nematodes, snails, hares, rabbits
and other animals
Preventative measures: Using tagetes for companion planting will keep nematodes away.
Harvest
(No User Tips)
Curly parsley and common parsley can be harvested continuously after about 6 to 8 weeks.
When cutting, avoid
the "heart" (in the centre: the inner, new small leaves), otherwise no new leaves will grow.
Hamburg root parsley is harvested in late autumn and can be kept free from frost in the cellar at low temperatures in moist sand or can overwinter out in the open if covered with winter protection.
Caution:
Hamburg root parsley out in the open
in winter
is potentially food for voles.
Storage
(No User Tips)
Keep fresh parsley in a freezer bag in a cool dark place or in the fridge.
Parsley can either be kept for some weeks in the fridge or in a container (bucket, box) filled with moist sand in a cool and dark room, such as in the cellar.
The ambient temperature should not exceed 2°C.
For the winter, parsley can be frozen or conserved in vinegar.
Tip:
Do not wash the root before storing as that shortens the time that it will keep.
Preparation
(No User Tips)
Parsley leaves are used as a herb, usually raw or just briefly heated.
The root is included when cooking
soups and sauces.
Tip:
In comparison to curly parsley, common
parsley is suitable for cooking and scarcely loses vitamins or flavour even when strongly heated.
