I have direct sown parsley in October/November many times and it works quite well. Parsley, however, does not germinate very quickly so be patient. The seedlings are very tiny when they first germinate.so be watchful.
I don't believe it is too late.

Thank you Molly.... Waiting to get the bed areas ready. My fingers are still sore and cut from all the digging and dragging last week. I don't kind the big dig each November...just was not reading for it last week! Such is life. I'll report back. I love parsley planted with pansies and they are still waiting for me to come buy them. Thank you all here...no one else understands....c

I am not an expert, but I once planted parsley seeds that I had frozen in ice cubes. (I "planted" the ice cubes that each had 2 or 3 seeds in them) It worked really well. I read it in a book once.
