No matter how grouchy you're feeling,
You'll find the smile more or less healing.

All around the front teeth -
Thus preserving the face from congealing.

Parsley: Biennial, but best treated as an annual. Grows to 12" tall. Start seeds outdoors in late fall or early spring. Rich in Vitamins A and C, and Calcium, Iron and Potassium. Unsurpassed as a diuretic and as an aid to gravel in the urinary tract. Also called Italian Parsley. This is the most flavorful parsley for cooking.
