Tips for sowing parsley
Normally, the germination time outdoors is between four and six weeks. However, it can also take longer for the parsley to get going.
Always sow parsley in the garden with a marker seed such as radishes. Then you can see the rows better and remove the weeds before they overgrow the parsley seedlings.
When sowing in a pot, it is usually a little faster because you can place the parsley seeds in a warmer place.
tips and tricks
For parsley to germinate a little faster, let the seed swell before sowing. To do this, sprinkle the seeds in lukewarm water and let them soak for a few hours.
