Did you know that parsley is said to mask garlic breath? It’s worth growing just to try! And if bad breath doesn’t bother you, at least parsley is perfect for making tabouleh as well as flavouring pasta and meat dishes.
How to grow Parsley in a garden
- Choose a sunny or partly shaded spot in the garden and prepare the planting area well by digging in Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone with Seaweed.
- Sow seeds direct or fill starter pots or trays with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Sow seeds, cover, firm down and water well. Keep the soil moist throughout germination - this can take up to 3-4 weeks.
- Once seedlings have emerged, feed weekly with Yates Thrive Natural Fish Seaweed+ Plant Food Concentrate. Allow seedlings to grow to about 5-7cm before transplanting.
- Water regularly to keep soil moist and mulch around the base of the plants with organic mulch like pea or lucerne straw to help retain moisture.
- Harvest when leaves are dark green and remove flowering stems to help extend the harvest window.
How to grow Parsley in a pot
- Choose a pot at least 300mm wide and deep and position in a sunny or partly shaded spot in your garden.
- Fill starter trays with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Sprinkle seeds over mix, lightly cover and gently water. Keep the soil moist throughout germination - this can take up to 3-4 weeks.
- Once seedlings reach 5-7cm tall, fill chosen pots with quality potting mix, such as Yates Premium Potting Mix. Transplant seedling into the pot and water in well with Yates Thrive Natural Fish Seaweed+ Plant Food Concentrate.
- Water regularly and feed weekly with Yates Thrive Natural Fish Seaweed+ Plant Food Concentrate.
