How to sow parsley

Parsley is one of the most common inhabitants of all gardens in our country. Parsley is used in the form of greens for preparing main courses and fresh salads; for this purpose, a special variety is grown - leaf parsley, or curly parsley. To use parsley as a spice for pickles and fermentations, special root parsley is grown (however, its foliage is also edible, but has less decorative value). How to sow parsley correctly?

Before sowing seeds, it is necessary to prepare and loosen the soil. Parsley is a rather unpretentious plant that can grow both in the sunny side and in dense shade. In order to get early parsley, choose bright sunny areas where it will sprout much earlier. In spring, the sowing site can be covered with film to prevent the ground from freezing during night cold spells. To prevent parsley from turning yellow from direct sun in summer, you can plant several rows in a shaded place, where it will emerge a little later, but will be protected from the scorching daytime sun. Before sowing, parsley seeds need to be soaked in damp gauze for 3-5 days. Once the seeds hatch, they are ready to plant.

The seeds are sown in the ground in special grooves to a depth of 1-2 cm. The distance between the grooves should be about 10 cm. To constantly have fresh herbs on your table, sow parsley gradually, with an interval of 1 week. Thus, it will sprout and grow gradually, providing you with nutrients and vitamins throughout the season.
