How do you sow flat-leaf parsley outdoors?
Sow flat-leaf parsley outdoors from spring to late summer when local conditions allow, in sun or partial shade. Prepare fertile, moist but well-drained soil and rake the surface finely. Make shallow drills about 1 cm deep, with rows 20 to 30 cm apart.
Water the drills, sow the seeds thinly along them, then cover with soil and water gently. Keep the seedbed moist without soaking it. Germination is slow and can take several weeks, sometimes a month or more.
Thin established seedlings to about 15 to 30 cm apart, depending on the variety and packet instructions. Sow small batches every few weeks to spread your harvests. A year-round supply outdoors depends on the climate and any winter protection.
