What does parsley need for good germination: secrets of growing juicy, aromatic and rich greens
Some summer residents fail to grow a decent harvest of parsley, so they are sure that it is a very capricious crop.
In fact, this is not entirely true. Experienced gardeners know that when growing parsley, you just need to follow a number of simple rules, and then there will be no problems with the harvest.
It should be noted that it is better to plant parsley in partial shade. Then the plant will give rich, juicy and elastic greenery. In areas with a lot of sunlight, parsley produces a less "vibrant" leaf.
Sowing time
The secret is that parsley should be sown at about the same time as carrots. By the way, both crops belong to the umbelliferous family, so it is not recommended to make beds next to each other.
Experienced gardeners do not rush to sow parsley, because its seeds contain essential oils that prevent germination in cold soil. When sown early, parsley sprouts in 2-3 weeks, and when sown late, in 5-7 days, gardeners say.
But in both cases, it is important to water the crops. If the parsley does not experience a moisture deficit, it will sprout very quickly. In addition, the germination rate will be virtually 100%, gardeners assure.
