It is unlikely that another bed for greenery at the next summer cottage does without this plant. Parsley. It goes well both externally and in taste to salads, meat dishes, to decorate sandwiches. This information will be useful to those who decide to grow parsley for themselves, their families and replenish the body of loved ones with the supply of vitamins both in summer and in winter

Growing and caring for parsley

Parsley is unpretentious. Therefore, you will not have any special problems with its cultivation. If the care and growing conditions are ideal for her, she will bring an unprecedented harvest and will present a high rate of its ripening.

As for the soil, parsley prefers fertile soils, with good lighting, without drafts around them. Plant parsley in garden beds where cumin, dill, and carrots used to grow.

The site for planting parsley in the spring should be prepared in the fall. The bed must be well dug up and fertilized with humus, which must be poured up to five kilograms per square meter of land.

In the spring, apply mineral fertilizer to the soil before planting parsley. Use the following scheme for planting parsley: make beds up to 1 cm deep under its seeds, where each next row deviates from the previous one by 20 cm.

Starting in mid-April, you can start planting parsley seeds in the ground. They do this, depending on the region of the country, when the soil begins to warm up. You will need to sow half a gram of parsley seeds for every square meter of soil.

Water the seeds gently and sprinkle the rows with a small layer of soil. Cover the bed with foil for better germination and moisture retention in the soil.

A few words about the preparation of seeds. They should not be planted dry. Soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before planting. Then put on a dry paper towel so that the moisture from them goes to it and they become free-flowing.

Parsley seeds will be able to germinate even at daytime temperatures of plus 2 degrees. They also withstand well the night cool up to minus 8 degrees C.

If you properly care for parsley and sow new seeds for it, if necessary, then you can be with fresh herbs on the table all summer. To do this, use the top dressing several times throughout the summer.

You can apply nitrate in this quality to the soil (for 10 sq m about 40 g), phosphorus-potassium fertilizers will also be good for parsley. Use saltpeter for better growth of the leaves of parsley and its leafy species. And phosphorus and potassium are introduced into the soil during the growing season of this plant, as well as for better development of root parsley.

You also need to be able to water parsley correctly. She does not like strongly and constantly wet soil, therefore it literally does not need to be poured. But you also should not leave the soil on which it grows dry. Water the parsley in the morning or evening, but not during the day or in hot weather. Parsley should be watered regularly. And on the root - to increase watering closer to the middle and end of August.

Try not to run the number of weeds in the garden next to the parsley, as they can draw out the required moisture and nutrients from the soil. To obtain large roots in parsley, thin it once after germination, the second two weeks after the first thinning, leaving a few centimeters between the plants.

You can grow parsley at home

In winter, when the summer resident has absolutely nothing to do, and he literally languishes from lack of demand, he can "entertain" himself by growing parsley at home. In addition, fresh herbs will appear on his table in the cold season.

The first step in growing parsley in the winter at home is the stage of sowing its seeds in boxes. The soil in them should be fertile, fertilized or taken from past plantings of crops from the garden, suitable for parsley.

Further, you act, in principle, the same as in the variant of planting parsley seeds in open ground. In the same way, you need to prepare seeds, fertilize the soil and monitor its condition, watering.

You can transplant ready-made seedlings into open ground in the spring. Although is it worth doing? If there is a risk that the plantings will wither, they will not take root. And parsley without transplanting develops well with proper care and in wooden boxes on the windowsills of the house, and in the garden in the beds.
