Plant & Growing Tips
Parsley
- Not in the recipe, but grow it for a fresh garnish to add brightness and cut the richness of the roll-ups.
- Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after danger has passed, in a location with partial shade in warmer climates.
- Keep soil consistently moist and fertilize lightly with a balanced liquid feed every few weeks.
Chives
- Not in the recipe, but grow them for a mild oniony bite that complements rich dishes like these roll-ups.
- Plant chive seeds or divisions in early spring in full sun to partial shade.
- Chives are very tolerant and grow well in containers, requiring regular watering in dry periods.
Natural Pest Control
- Aphids: Spray parsley and chives with a strong stream of water or insecticidal soap to dislodge aphids.
- Slugs & Snails: Use organic slug pellets or beer traps around parsley plants to protect tender foliage.
Harvest
Parsley
- Harvest outer stalks from the base of the plant once leaves are abundant and fully developed, using a cut-and-come-again method.
- Regular harvesting encourages new growth and prevents the plant from bolting.
Chives
- Snip leaves about an inch from the ground with scissors once they are at least 6 inches tall, harvesting as needed.
- Chives will regrow quickly for multiple harvests throughout the season.
