Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to determine your garden schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

It's a good idea to figure out when it's the best time to plant parsley by referring to the USDA zone info for Sugar Land.

The last month that you can plant parsley and expect a good harvest is probably October. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your parsley may not have a chance to fully mature. You can get started a couple of weeks earlier by starting your parsley indoors.
