I've seen that not every one has started their vegetable and herbs plants yet, so thought I would put in a plug for parsley.
When I make pesto, I use equal amounts of basil and parsley leaves, mainly to get the nutritional boost from the parsley. Parsley is high in vitamins and minerals, esp iron. I usually have 6 basil and at least 6 parsley plants in the garden. I also can tomato sauce and juice with fresh parsley and basil, as well as other fresh vegetables.
