Growing Parsley – How to Grow Parsley
Parsley, (or Petroselinum crispum), is a biennial herb but grown as an annual. Mostly known its curly leafed variety as a side garnish at restaurants. Even the sprigs from growing parsley can be eaten, and can add a nice flavor to soups, main meals, and especially salads.
In Medieval times, starving people placed parsley on the tables and around their necks to absorb food odors. This practice makes you wonder exactly what they were eating. It was also used as a poison antidote. I’m sure this would be most useful for those who became ill from consuming any rancid meat…
High temperatures are required in order for the growing parsley to germinate. But it could take a couple of weeks to a month for the leaves to begin to sprout. The seeds need to be soaked in warm water over night before planting. The seeds can be kept inside the house and sewn in pots, until the seeds begin to sprout.
Plant parsley in early springtime. Place in rows around 12 inches apart from each other. Cover the bed 1/2 inch deep. Bonemeal needs to be added to the top of the soil.
After seedlings grow to about 3 inches in height, they can then be planted outdoors. {Pick a spot for growing parsley that will get at least six to eight hours of sunlight per day!Although parsley enjoys direct sunlight, it should only receive between 6 – 8 hours per day}. Full sunlight or partial shade is best.
Provide the growing parsley with soil rich in organic matter. Your efforts will be rewarded in a healthy crop gathered from the garden. Consider planting in a container if you have poor soil conditions or not enough space.
If kept indoors, remember that parsley requires at least five hours on sunshine each day. Fertilizer should be added to growing parsley to help growth throughout the season. During the summer, water the herb often to ensure the soil remains damp. Add mulch to the soil to reduce moisture loss and prevent growing weeds. Later thin the plants to stand about six inches apart.
Parsley lasts all season, and the time between planting and harvesting is 12 weeks. Because it is a biennial, the herbs will start to produce seed, which ends the plants use as an herb. As for drying parsley, the leaves can be dried in the Autumn and placed in air-tight containers. For growing parsley indoors, transplant into plant pots beforehand. The following spring, remove the flower stems as soon as they appear to keep the plants active.
Growing parsley tips
To benefit its long roots, growing parsley in a deep pot is a good idea. To help parsley to withstand low temperatures, try lightly mulching.
Parsley medical uses
The herb is also full of nutritious ingredients, minerals and vitamins. The use of parsley is believed to be a relief for arthritis. The herb is a known diuretic used to treat the symptoms of patients with kidney and liver problems. Parsley seeds made into a tea is a good remedy for stomach troubles, especially colic. Parsley is a well known breath freshener when chewed. It is also used to loosen phlegm for bad coughs, and has even been used as an aphrodisiac!
With growing parsley, always remember to keep the plant bed wet, the herb fed regularly and kept warm.
The herb will repay you in a green presentation to adorn your culinary creations.
