Starting a parsley hedge


On 5 November, I sowed about 20 parley seeds in this big plastic pot at my front door. I wasn't sure what soil was in there as it came with the house. At the time there were some plastic flowers sitting in it. I pulled out the fake plants and stirred in some slow-release herb and veggie fertiliser.
Two months later, these parsley are looking very healthy indeed. 
This parsley was bought from Woolworths in a small $2.99 herb pot. After more than two months, it has grown into an enormous "bush". This site is clearly very good for parsley, so I decided to make a parsley hedge out of the ones I was growing from seeds.

If each of them grow just half of the size of the huge "bush", a nice hedge should be well on its way. Hope they enjoy their new home!

  1. how will you grow a hedge using parsley? i don't think I have ever seen someone trimming parsley into a hedge.

  2. Try googling "parsley border" you'll see what I mean. It's not meant to be very tall. I call it a hedge because it'll be trimmed like a hedge.
