No one will dispute the fact that parsley greens are good for health, as they contain a lot of vitamins and microelements.

It is true that in order for parsley seeds to germinate, you will have to put in a lot of effort - this simple truth is also familiar to every summer resident.

If you have ever tried to grow parsley, you know that the seeds may not sprout even if you put them in pre-moistened soil.

Therefore, experienced gardeners soak parsley seeds in warm water for about two days before planting, after which they place them in dug soil at a depth of 10-15 cm, and cover with 1-1.5 cm of compost.

A thick layer of compost should be placed at the bottom of the furrows beforehand, since parsley prefers loose and nutritious soil.

How to Grow Parsley Fast

Some gardeners resort to a trick when growing parsley, thanks to which, according to them, shoots appear after only 3 hours.

To do this, parsley seeds are soaked in fresh milk and planted in soil sprinkled 3 times with quicklime and finely ground lime.

The soil needs to be slightly moistened with water from above (it is not worth watering deeply).
