How to Grow
To start, make sure you have a sunny spot in your garden or a bright windowsill if you plan to grow it indoors. Parsley prefers well-drained soil, so make sure the soil is loose and friable before planting the seeds. Once you have prepared the soil, sow the parsley seeds about 1/4 inch deep and cover them with a light layer of soil. Keep the soil moist but not too wet, and make sure to water the seeds regularly. You can also cover the seeds with plastic wrap or a clear plastic lid to create a mini greenhouse effect that will help the seeds germinate faster. Parsley takes about 2-3 weeks to germinate, so be patient and keep an eye on the soil moisture levels during this time. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them out to about 6-8 inches apart to give them room to grow. Parsley is a slow-growing plant, so it may take a few months before it is ready to harvest. When the leaves are about 6 inches tall, you can start picking them off the plant. Harvesting the outer leaves first will encourage the plant to keep producing new growth.
