Very cold winters - where do I plant/grow parsley - indoors how? Do i put it in the sun during the day and under cover at night!

We farm in the Ermelo weather district which is also freezing cold between April and September and I grow parsley with success outside in the veggie patch. They do grow best when protected from wind like in a sunny courtyard, but they seem to be quite hardy and resistant to anything but drought. My grandmother used to grow her's in large steel drums and they just boomed. She also added used (cooled) teabags to her parsley and that seemed to make them grow even better. It works well for garden mint (the common variety) as well.
