Garlic and Parsley
Garlic is a plant grown for the consumption of the root, often referred to as the bulb. It is a hardy plant meaning it can withstand rather harsh weather conditions. Garlic is a perennial plant that can grow and mature in the span of 90 days and can be grown outside seasonally or it can be grown in an indoor pot year-round. Garlic is one of the oldest known crops being mentioned in Egyptian and Indian cultures over 5,000 years ago.
Parsley is a yellowish-green biennial plant that requires moist soil conditions and bright sunlight to thrive. This herb is ready to harvest 70 to 90 days after planting and can be grown outside seasonally or it can be grown in an indoor pot year-round. Parsley is native to the Medditeranian area and has been grown for over 2,000 years. The Holy Roamn Emperor, Charles the Great, is credited with Parsley’s popularity as he was said to have it growing all over his property in the 7th century.
