**Planting Instructions:**
- **Soil Preparation:** Choose a well-drained, fertile soil for planting. Forest Green Parsley thrives in soil that is rich in organic matter. Work compost or well-rotted manure into the soil to enhance its fertility.
- **Planting Time:** Sow the seeds directly into the garden in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Parsley can also be grown indoors in containers year-round.
- **Sowing:** Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them 6-8 inches apart in rows or containers.
- **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Parsley prefers evenly moist conditions.
- **Sunlight:** Provide your parsley with partial shade to full sun, depending on your climate. In hot regions, partial shade is beneficial to prevent wilting.
- **Harvesting:** You can start harvesting parsley leaves when they reach a suitable size, usually around 6 inches tall. Snip the outer leaves, leaving the inner ones to continue growing.
