How to sow and grow Parsley Moss Curled 2

• Sowing method: direct
• Depth: 1 cm
• Spacing: 15–20 cm
• Germination: 14–28 days at 15–20 °C
• Position: sun to partial shade

Sow March–July outdoors. Bear in mind that germination is slow. The plants reach about 30 cm. tall. Sow the seeds directly outdoors from mid-spring, as soon as the soil is workable. To speed up germination, the seeds can be soaked in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Thin the plants outdoors to 15 cm. apart from each other, when they are about 2 cm tall. Parsley grows best in a mostly sunny spot with fairly rich, moist, well-drained soil.

Soak the seeds for 24 hours and keep the soil moist — parsley is slow to germinate. Sow in early spring or before winter.

Harvest and use

Cut the outer leaves — the plant produces new ones until winter.
