I grow parsley, always much more than I can ever use, I give it away
to anyone who comes by... towards the end of the season I freeze it in
zip-locs. Lately I prefer the curly leaf parsley. Parsley requires
very little growing space... a four foot square plot will grow more
than any ten families can consume.

I don't like mint in anything but toothpaste and chewing gum. But I
have so much mint growing wild that I mow it... it grows all along my
creek too, I can probably pick it in hundred pound bales... feel free
to help yourself.
