Planting parsley early in the season is a good idea, but do not plant it too soon. The frost risk can lead to plants being killed or stunted. So, it's best to plant parsley as late as possible in the fall or winter. It is best to only plant one seed per cell in each plug tray. You can also plant parsley indoors in seedling trays.
Planting seeds can be done up to 11 weeks before the last frost date. Choose soil that is 70 degrees and place them in a warm spot. You can try placing a potted garden under a fluorescent lamp four inches away from the soil to help sprout parsley seeds. This will help the seeds germinate faster. When you plant seeds indoors, make sure they are kept moist throughout the growth period. If you don’t have any windows, place your seedlings in a sunny area and make sure to check them every so often.
When planting parsley in pots it is essential to ensure that the soil remains evenly moist. You must keep the soil less than an inch deep. Before you plant, it should be amended. The soil must be well-drained and free from large amounts of dry soil. It is important that you water your plants regularly so they don't become dry. Use tin foil and plastic lids to protect the soil from becoming weedy.
Low germination rates are a hallmark of parsley seeds. They may take as long as six to eight months to germinate. To improve the chances of a quick and easy harvest, make sure you soak the seeds overnight and sow them at least one eighth of an inch deep. If you are planting parsley in containers it is best to thin them when they reach 2 to 3 inches tall. You can transplant them if they are too tall.
Parsley is an annual herb. The stems should not be harvested before the end of the growing season. You can store the leaves for later use in two ways. The first is to freeze the parsley stems, and then put them in a glass water. You can also freeze them to keep them longer. They can be frozen once they have been used. Parsley can make a big difference in the kitchen. Keep it dry.
After the seedlings are mature, you can transplant them to the garden. The best time to transplant parsley is early spring. It is best to plant parsley when the soil temperature is between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It's best to protect it from drafts and wind if you are growing it in containers. The depth of the seeds should be sufficient to allow drainage. This depends on how large your garden is. Use a potting medium that retains water to prevent a waterlogged garden.
