It is cheaper to put the parsley seeds into the ground from August onwards. Then pests no longer play such an important role and the dreaded parsley disease can largely be avoided.
Parsley germinates very slowly
Since it takes a long time for the herbs to appear, soak the seeds before sowing.
To do this, put it in lukewarm water for several hours. To make it easier to sow the moist seed, mix it with some fine sand.
Mixing in radish seeds has also proven its worth. Since radishes germinate much faster, you can take better care of the rows. The radishes have long been harvested when the parsley needs the space.
Sow parsley outdoors
Choose a partially shaded location with soil that is not too dry and on which no umbellifers have grown three years previously.
Prepare a bed for the aromatic herbs by thoroughly loosening the soil, removing weeds and covering with ripe compost, Horn meal or Horn shavings(€ 32.93 at Amazon *) refine.
Draw rows six to eight inches apart. The sowing depth should be about 1.5 centimeters, because in contrast to other aromatic herbs, the Parsley does not germinate light, but a dark germ.

Sow the seeds in the prepared grooves and cover them with at least an inch of soil.
Keep the surface well wet. It can take up to four weeks for the parsley to germinate.
Once the plants are two inches tall, you need them prick out. The ideal planting distance is ten centimeters.
Sow the parsley in the pot
Fill small pots with Potting soil. Sow up to ten seeds per pot and cover them with soil. Moisten the surface and place the pots in a warm place.
