About Hot Peppers
If you want to grow Hot Peppers, the growing season is too short to start them as seeds outdoors. You will either need to start seeds indoors or purchase plants. For more information about peppers click here.
About Onion Sets
Onions can be grown from seeds, sets, or transplants. Onion sets are small and dry—they look like mini-onions. Use larger bulbs for green onions, and smaller bulbs for onions you plan to harvest and dry at the end of the season. For more information about onions click here.
Happy gardening!
I planted parsley last year and it looks like it’s coming up again, I thought it was an annual? I just planted the seeds and it gave me a great crop that I dried. I cut the tops off and left the roots, even got tilled in a little (just starting the sfg this year)
Lorie,
I was amazed when I pulled out my parsley plant–the root system is HUGE! So, I am guessing your parsley roots survived the tilling, and are growing again!
Parsely is a biannual. It will grow for two years and then die. you would then need to replant it the 3rd year to start the cycle all over again.
It’s true! This is the first year I’ve left my parsley over the winter. The only problem I have is that I usually plant it in a new place every year (I’m always experimenting with different garden layouts), and it gets bigger than one square the second year.
