Harvest
Sowing & growing
Sow under cover all year round in modular trays or pots as plant does not like root disturbance. Will germinate at temperatures of 18-21°C. Alternatively sow outside where it is to grow from March-July in 5-10mm-deep, pre-watered drills. Thin seedlings to 25cm apart. Germination can take a while so clearly mark the row.
Aftercare
Keep Parsley well-watered, especially during hot, dry weather, to prevent bolting.
