Garden parsley is a bright green, hairless, biennial, herbaceous plant in temperate climates, or an annual herb in subtropical and tropical areas.
Where it grows as a biennial, in the first year, it forms a rosette of tripinnate leaves 10-25 cm long with numerous 1-3 cm leaflets, and a taproot used as a food store over the winter.
In the second year, it grows a flowering stem to 75 cm tall with sparser leaves and flat-topped 3-10 cm diameter umbels with numerous 2 mm diameter yellow to yellowish-green flowers. The seeds are ovoid, 2-3mm long, with prominent style remnants at the apex. One of the compounds of the essential oil is apiol. The plant normally dies after seed maturation.

No kitchen should be without a good supply of this multi-purpose herb. It can be used as a garnish, flavouring and as a vegetable. There are two main varieties: curly leaf and flat leaf. Both can be used for the same purposes although flat leaf parsley has a stronger flavour and tends to be favoured in Mediterranean cooking.

English grown peas tend to be available nearer the end of the month depending on the weather. The season will then run right up through the summer months. Peas are one of the oldest cultivated vegetables. Originally the tender tops of the plants were cooked along with the pea pods. Today we have shelling, snap, snow and sugar pod peas.

The start of the purple sprouting broccoli season marks a welcome addition to the winter vegetable palate. Deep purple florets and slender stalks make this locally grown product a real must-have. After a winter of using green broccoli it is great to get some colour on the plate. Simply steamed or boiled, it partners almost any fish or meat dish.
