Harvesting frequently helps prolong the plant’s life. Pinch off individual leaves, or use clean shears to cut stems above growth nodes. Once the plant reaches 6 inches, you can begin trimming larger outer leaves. Ensure you harvest only up to a third of the height of the plant at a time, to ensure it continues growing.
Origin
Parsley was cultivated since ancient times by the Greeks and Romans, but it was traditionally used as a medicinal herb and not used in culinary dishes until much later.
