Questions

When should I plant parsley in Texas?

In Houston, plant out from January 19 to February 9. Across Texas the window opens between December 25 and April 1, depending on the local last frost.

How is this date worked out?

Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost; plant out from 2 weeks before to 1 weeks after the last frost; sow outdoors up to 3 weeks before the last frost. Frost dates are NOAA 1991–2020 averages for the weather station nearest each city.
