How and when is it best to plant parsley for a rich harvest?

The ideal time for sowing parsley is a period that lasts from the beginning of April to the end of August. When grown in a greenhouse, sowing can be carried out later, even at the end of September. In order to have fresh parsley on the table all season, sowing should be repeated every 2 weeks.

Before planting, soak the seeds for a couple of days, change the water regularly. This will extract the essential oils that interfere with germination. After that, dry the seeds and sow in the ground.

Parsley planting methods at the dacha

The most common method of planting parsley is planting “in a line”, the width of planting is from 1 to 2 cm. The distance between the lines is usually about 15 cm.

Another more efficient way of planting is sowing "in the furrow". This requires a wooden board, which is pressed into the wet soil to a depth of a couple of centimeters. In the resulting furrow seeds are sown in a zigzag. With a distance between the furrows of about 15-20 centimeters and regular thinning, the parsley will grow smoothly, will cease to fall and wilt.

In order to get fresh parsley in the middle of May, a seedling method is used. To do this, parsley is sown in boxes in early April, and in early May, seedlings are planted in open ground.

With this method of planting the row spacing is better to increase to 40 cm, often thinning out. Use the shrub planting method in order to have greenery from early spring to the most frost.
