Parcels of Parsley

This has been our first parsley harvest this year. Each class planted some Italian flat leaf parsley and it has been rocketing away lately.  It was time to cut it back a bit so it doesn't go to seed and so we can use some of it's yummy flavours!

Room 3 has been helping out with the gardens a lot.  The children of Room 3 cut the parsley making sure each piece had along stem.  They then tied the stems up in bunches and put them in water to keep the parsley fresh.

Parsley is really tasty on eggs and in salads it is full of great stuff like calcium so it is really good for you as well as yummy!

Our school is an Enviro school we will be selling bunches of parsley at school. They will cost one dollar a bunch. We also have been growing other things in the garden.
