Parsley is much more than a decorative sprig on the side of a plate. This flavorful herb is easy to incorporate into a Texas home garden, provides vitamins and minerals, and can be used fresh or dried in a wide range of dishes. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension resources offer practical guidance for growing, harvesting and using parsley in the home garden.
