I only picked about half of the plants and now the whole apartment smells like fresh parsley.
Going to freeze them for cooking later. Or I see if I can finish the Solar dryer this weekend and give it a try.

I cut them all a couple of weeks ago. This is the highest production of vegetables I've got in one setting.
PS. Sorry for the bad image quality, the sun is shining on them.

Just like in soil, mint have a strong way of spreading and taking over what ever place is available.
This used to hold a #parsley seedling, next to the mint unit on the 3x5 hole #IKEA #Växer unit.
The parsley was killed long time ago and it's roots were chocked and taken over by the neighboring mint.
I'm cleaning up the unit indoor and getting rid of all the unhealthy units. This , I pulled to find over 40cm of roots growing towards the rest of the system.
I removed this unit and trimmed all the unnecessary roots. And I probably have to do major cleanup of the reservoir.
But for now, this guy needs a new home.

This time is about 700g and going to freeze them while waiting for the next batch to grow (I have one more with parsley, one with #leek, #coriander, #mint, and #dill that are not producing as much. Each unit has 15 grow holes. One is almost empty. I am missing #taragon and I'm missing Iranian Shanbalileh (شَنبَلیله یا به فارسی دری شینبل (نام علمی: Trigonella foenum-graecum) ) to have all vegetables I need except to spinach that is not worth growing in small space that I have to be self sufficient in having all necessary vegetables for cooking different Iranian dishes.
This single Ikea unit has givene 5 batch of parsley since I started it and ther are no sign of decline as ww are getting closer to summer.
It has already paid off the initial cost I paid for it and from now on, it's all profit. Next it trying to setup the Mimi tower unit to grow them with solar powered water pumps and sunshine (no artificial LEDs for this trial.
Just need to buy some fertilizer because running low.

Next week I have to cut them again. Either freeze or dry them for storage.

It was getting too much so I decided to cut it off and will dry them inside the oven later
This is the 3rd harvest and the largest one so far I'm hoping that they keep giving me this much parsley every few weeks from now on so I can enjoy having fresh parsley and home dried, chemical free ones when needed.

She is so excited and nervous and been online for almost 3h to go over every education in t different cities in Sweden.
The parsley is already put into the container and ready to be used.z
Amazing how different the color of my own dried ones are from those commercial ones.

They were getting too tall and blocking the light for the ones in the back, so I trimmed the 14 plants I have in one of #IKEA #Växer units by the balcony door to dry them for later
I love the smell of fresh parsley and eat the stems as snack. They are so juicy and delicious.

Started these parsley about a month ago and replanted them into IKEA Växer the week before I went on a short vacation.
They have grown so much in 2 weeks and it's time to trim and dry some preparing for winter soups.
At this rate, I can cut #parsley from my list of purchases and have enough to eat and save for later.
It's great to have a south facing window, no need for LED lights at all.

The aroma is just amazingm. 3 types of #Basil, #parsley, #chives, #dill, #spinach and #radish leaves.
Going to make a paste of it like my mother used to do l, similar to #Pesto, but with peppers and garlic added since these basils are different than the Italian ones used in Pesto.
Then some baking to eat fresh bread with the paste and Bulgarian feta cheese!
