Parsley Seeds

Honestly, you can go ahead and add as much parsley as you would like to your meal. A whole cup of parsley is only worth 22 calories, out of which is a healthy dose of protein, carbs, vitamins, and fiber. Parsley is a natural diuretic and is excellent to ensure there is no water retention or bloating, making it perfect for your healthy eating habits.

Note: Used as seeds only and not for consumption. Seeds to be sown before the expiry date.

Planting:

• Soak parsley seeds in lukewarm water overnight before sowing.
• In India, parsley seedlings are generally sown at the beginning of the winter season.
• Sow the seeds indoors, in seedling trays, 0.5 cm deep in coco peat or soilless organic veggie potting mixture.
• Your parsley seeds will germinate anytime between 14 – 21 days after sowing.
• Thin out the small, extra, overcrowded seedlings in seedling trays.
• Let these germinated seedlings grow in a seedling tray for 3-4 weeks before transplantation.
• Keep the seedling tray in semi-shade while the germinated seedlings grow.
• Transplant the healthy seedlings in pots or yard gardens.
• Use an organic potting mixture to grow your parsley plant.
• Fill the cells/cups with a moist coco-peat medium

Special Pride Care:

• For better flavor, keep your parsley plant in a sunny outdoor location.
• Parsley can also grow well with partial sunlight for 3 – 4 hours.
• Add a handful of vermicompost to the parsley plant every 20 days.
• Look for the early signs of fungal infection/ insect infestation. If you notice any symptoms, spray appropriate medicines immediately.
• Spray Neem Oil/Tobacco extract/soap water to keep insects at bay.
• 80 – 100 days after transplanting, you can harvest your parsley leaves.
• Harvest the outer leaves by cutting them at the base of the stalk.
• Never harvest more than one-third of growing the plant at a time.
• Hold the seeds and sow 2-3 seeds per cell/cup. Since Lavender seeds are small in size, do not sow them deep
