Parsley - Cut when older leaves are 3 to 5 inches long. Continue to take outer leaves for fresh, tender parsley until heavy frosts of winter. Store in refrigerator. Peas - If you expect to shell the peas, harvest pods when they are shiny green and fully developed. Overly mature peas are poor quality.
Deterioration proceeds rapidly at high temperatures.
Wash and chill immediately. Immature peppers are soft, pliable, thin fleshed and pale. For Irish potatoes, a good tuber size is 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Individual preference is the rule here. Let potatoes dry several hours in garden after digging.
