| PARSLEY (Petroselinum crispum) CULTURE: Parsley seed germinates very slowly, requiring 3 to 4 weeks. Sow seeds in early spring directly into garden, 1/4" deep, and thin to 4 to 6". Keep well watered. Soaking seed in water for 24 hours will speed germination. Mark location with radish seed. Fast germination procedure: Plant seed in a small flat of soil or planting medium. Place flat in a zip-lock bag, and freeze for 12 to 24 hours. Remove from freezer and keep moist until seed begins to germinate. Requires full sun. SEED SAVERS: Isolate by a minimum of 1/4 mile for home use. For pure seed isolate by 1/2 to 1 mile. PACKET: 2 g (appox. 900 to 1350 seeds, depending on variety) sows 35 to 70' |
