Parsley From Seed: Day 15


Just so you know, for anyone who is looking to grow parsley from seed, it takes a while.  My Italian Flat Leaf Parsley seeds were spread over some potting soil and have been left under fluorescent lights 16 hours a day and kept moist regularly. 

I'm happy to finally see some signs of life!  Today (day 15) is the first sign of a sprout.  This is pretty regular from my experience of about 4 years growing it this way.

    Yup, that sounds right to me too. I just sowed mine a few days ago, so I've another week or so of waiting.

      It's a long time to wait, staring at a pot full of empty soil every day, waiting for something to pop up!

    Parsley is notoriously slow. But if you use it as much as I do, it is sure worth the wait!

    That's been my experience as well. It's always a happy occurrence when I find it volunteering in the garden.
