Dill and parsley are the most beloved and familiar herbs on our table. If you want to always have fresh herbs on hand, be sure of its quality and just have a pleasant hobby, then we suggest creating your own mini-home garden.

In this article you will find 3 step by step instructions how to grow dill and parsley on the windowsill.

How to grow dill at home

Dill is annual plant, therefore, you will not be able to quickly get a harvest by planting root crops or bulbs.

• It takes 5-8 weeks to grow dill from seed at home.

But you can plant it in an apartment at any time of the year. True, from October to early spring, dill requires additional lighting with fluorescent lamps. The best time for growing dill on the windowsill - from March to August. At this time, it is easier to care for the plant, and you do not need to create additional lighting for this.

What we need:

1. A pot or container 15-20 cm deep with drainage holes at the bottom.
2. Soil for indoor plants and preferably garden soil.
3. Spray water.
4. Fluorescent lamps (if you grow dill in the winter).
5. Seeds.

Which varieties are more suitable for growing dill at home: early ripening, mid-ripening or late-ripening?

• If you want to quickly get greens or umbrellas and seeds for conservation, then choose the early varieties Gribovsky or Grenadier. They will give a crop quickly, but, unfortunately, it will not turn out to be rich (4-6 leaves), and soon after the leaves appear, the early ripe dill will begin to bloom.
• Mid-season varieties (Richelieu, Umbrella, Kibray) will produce greens about 10 days later, but there will be more (6-10 leaves).
• Late-ripening bush varieties of dill (Alligator, Russian Gigant, Buyan) yield a harvest later, but the richest in leaves (more than 10). Perhaps this option is most suitable for obtaining fresh greens.

Step 1. Seed preparation

In order for the seeds to germinate faster and better, they must first be soaked in warm water for 24-48 hours, changing the water every 12 hours. Then the seeds that remain on the surface of the water must be selected and thrown away, since, most likely, they are not suitable for planting. All other seeds that have fallen to the bottom must be removed with a sieve or spilled through cheesecloth and dried on it.

Step 2. Preparing the soil

While the seeds are soaking, you can start preparing the soil. To get started, fill the bottom of the pot or container with a 2–3 cm thick expanded clay drainage layer. As a soil for dill, a mixture of garden soil (it is better to prepare it in the fall) and soil for indoor flowers is suitable. If you do not have the opportunity to purchase a good garden land, season the purchased soil with vermicompost in a ratio of 1: 4. Another suitable option- a mixture of vermicompost with cocoa fiber in a ratio of 1: 2. Keep in mind that the better and looser the soil, the more likely you are to get good result.

Step 3. Sowing seeds

Now you need to irrigate the ground with water from a spray, dig small grooves 1-1.5 cm deep in it, sow seeds in them, then lightly sprinkle them with earth from the edges of the grooves and moisten the ground with water from a spray bottle again.

• It is important that the grooves are shallow and the seeds are not sprinkled too tightly.

Now it remains to cover the pot with plastic wrap or a bag and leave to germinate for a week in a dark place where the air temperature does not exceed 18-20 degrees. When shoots appear, pull out the extra shoots so that there is an interval of 3 cm between the remaining shoots, and then place the pot on the windowsill.

Step 4. create additional lighting

Dill is a plant native to the sunny Mediterranean and cannot grow without light. Moreover, the light for him is much more important than warmth... When growing dill at home from March to August, the seed pot can simply be placed on a well-lit windowsill.

• Dill should be getting enough sunlight at least 6 hours a day. On cloudy days, it is advisable to supplement the plants with lamps. If in the room where your mini-garden is growing, the air temperature exceeds 20 degrees, it is also advisable to highlight it.

To grow dill on a windowsill in winter, you need to provide it with additional lighting with white-spectrum fluorescent lamps, setting them at a height of 50 cm above the crops.

• In winter, artificial lighting of plants with fluorescent lamps should last at least 12 hours a day.

Step 5. Taking care of the harvest

Well, that's all, it remains only to provide the plant with proper care and wait 30-40 days before harvesting the first harvest. Here are some rules and tips to help you during this period:

• In summer, dill should be watered often, preventing the soil from drying out, and in winter - moderately, waiting for the soil to dry out after the last watering.
• To make the dill juicy, spray it with water every day.
• Use only settled water for irrigation. room temperature, otherwise the dill will get sick and turn yellow. In winter, you can use the water thawed from the snow.
• The ideal temperature for growing dill on the windowsill is + 15- + 18 degrees. Minimum allowable: +8 degrees. Maximum allowable: +25 degrees.
• If the soil in which you planted the dill was not sufficient good quality, it is recommended to feed it with Agrolife fertilizers (1 r. / month, 1 tsp. in the top layer of the earth) or Biohumus (add in the aisle or around the stems once every two months at the rate of 2-3 tbsp. l per pot).
• Since the leaves and stems of dill do not grow back after cutting, in order to regularly get a harvest, you need to plant seeds every three weeks.

Below is a video instruction on how to grow dill on a windowsill in winter.

How to grow parsley on a windowsill

So, we figured out the dill, it's time for instructions on how to grow parsley on the windowsill. In many ways, the rules for their sowing and care are similar, but still different, since parsley, although it sprouts later, is less demanding on light and soil quality than dill.

In addition, there are two ways to grow parsley at home:

• By sowing seeds.
• By sowing root crops.

Growing parsley from seeds

First you need to select the seeds. What varieties to choose? To grow parsley on the windowsill, home gardeners most often choose early-maturing varieties that yield 10-14 days earlier than others.

• Curly parsley: Moscaruse and Astra.
• Flat parsley: Irinka, Italian hero, Laika, Russian feast, Plain.

Step 1. Wrap the seeds in damp gauze, leave them to germinate for 2-3 days in a warm place, and then squeeze the gauze and dry the seeds. If desired, after wringing out the gauze, you can put it in freezer(at a temperature not lower than zero) for a month, then the seeds will germinate faster.

Step 2. Prepare the soil according to the instructions above and moisten it well.

Step 3. Then start planting: "dig" grooves 0.5-1 cm deep, sow the seeds (quite often), sprinkle them with earth from the edges of the grooves and moisten the ground with water from the spray.

Step 4. Next, you need to leave the crops warm (at a temperature of 19-20 degrees) until the first shoots appear, that is, for about 14-20 days. At this time, sowing should be watered every other day in moderation. It is not necessary to cover the container with plastic at this stage.

• Water the parsley with settled or boiled water.

Step 5. When the first shoots appear, pull out the extra shoots so that an interval of about 4-5 cm remains between the remaining ones.

Step 6. Now that young shoots have appeared, watering can be slightly increased, but not to allow the soil to dry out or, conversely, overflow. However, when growing parsley on a windowsill in winter, water it sparingly, waiting for the soil to dry out.

• Ideally, at this stage, the temperature should be lowered to + 15– + 18 degrees, for example, by opening a window. At night, the window can be opened completely in order to lower the temperature to the optimal 10-12 degrees Celsius.
• If the land was purchased, then the plants can be periodically fertilized with complex mineral fertilizers or solutions 1 time in one to two months according to the instructions.
• In summer, parsley can be grown on the balcony until the air temperature drops to 0 degrees.

Step 7. From early spring to summer time parsley growing on the windowsill has enough sunlight (at least 4 hours a day), and in winter it needs to be illuminated with a fluorescent lamp. The lamps can be installed at a height of 50-60 cm, and they should shine for at least 8 hours a day.

Step 8. The first crop can be harvested 2 months after the first shoots appear. You need to cut off the branches not at the root, but leaving 5-centimeter petioles.

When the parsley is old enough, you can cut it off. It is believed that the optimal "maturity" is twigs 10-12 cm high. Disadvantages of this method: a lot of trouble. In addition, the first harvest will only take place in 1.5 months. But such parsley will grow for more than a year!

How to plant parsley with root vegetables

Than growing parsley on a windowsill from root crops better than the first way? First of all, the fact that you do not need to wait 2 weeks before germination of the first shoots.

To do this, you need to prepare a container with a depth of 15-20 cm and soil according to the first instruction. Then you just need to transplant the parsley rather tightly into the moist soil, and so that only the heads are visible. And finally, pour with settled water. It is advisable in the first days after transplanting parsley from the garden to keep it cool on glazed balcony, and when shoots appear, transfer the mini-bed to the windowsill.

• The best time for forcing garden parsley into a pot is at the end of October, but you can also at other times. Perfect size root crops - 5 cm long and 2-4 cm thick.
• If you don't have your own parsley garden, you can buy root vegetables at the store.
• Water the parsley in moderation, waiting for the soil to dry.
• When the parsley begins to grow vigorously, water it more often and abundantly.

We offer to see visual instruction how to grow parsley on a windowsill (root) in the next video.

Planting parsley is an obligatory ritual of every summer resident, and even if you do not like messing around in the ground, how can you deprive yourself of the pleasure of decorating your dishes with fresh, just picked herbs? Our article is devoted to the peculiarities of growing dill and parsley, because only after familiarizing yourself with all the intricacies, you can get chic and aromatic herbs.

Features of parsley and dill

First of all, consider the features of growing the most common inhabitants of the garden. It is worth noting that this is a simple matter and even a beginner can cope with the task, because parsley and dill are unpretentious to care for, frost-resistant and take root on almost any soil. However, there are some rules by adhering to which you can get good harvest per short terms... We will focus on them below.

Parsley is a biennial plant, so it is advisable to sow seeds every year. Both types of grasses are very sun-loving, so if you decide to plant greenery in the spring, you should select the most illuminated areas. At the same time, you can sow the seeds somewhere in the shade, then they will sprout a little later, but they will not turn yellow from the scorching rays. True, the last rule applies only to the cultivation of parsley.

Growing parsley

Sometimes it takes a long time to wait before the dill shoots appear, and all because of the high content of essential oils in its seeds. To speed up the process, the planting material should be properly prepared, but we will dwell on this a little below. In addition, you can get early greens by giving preference to planting before winter, however, without proper care, it is likely that the dill will freeze out, especially if the winter turns out to be frosty and snowless.

Excellent precursors for two types of greens - cabbage and cucumbers. But if earlier carrots, celery or parsley grew in the garden, then it is better to postpone planting for at least a year.

Preparing seeds for early germination

If you want to get lush greenery already at the beginning of May, you should not ignore any of the stages, and especially preparatory work... Are you planning to grow dill? Then its seeds should be placed in a gauze bag and soaked in clean hot (+ 50 ° C) water for 72 hours. In this case, it is necessary to change the fluid at least 5 times a day. Thus, you will significantly speed up the emergence of seedlings. Next, we need steamed sawdust. We take the seeds out of the water, put them on gauze bags and cover with prepared sawdust. The latter can be replaced with a damp cloth, but such measures are resorted to in extreme cases. We leave the planting material in this state for several days. It is advisable to keep the room temperature around 20 ° C. As soon as the dill seeds have begun to germinate, you can proceed to the next stage.

Dill seeds

How to prepare parsley seeds? After all, such spicy greens are no less in demand on the tables than fragrant dill. This procedure is not too different from the one described above, and even a little simpler, since the step of soaking in hot water... It is enough just to cover the planting material with a damp cloth and leave for several days until sprouts appear.

The choice of timing and site for sowing

Both parsley and dill can be planted both in winter and in spring. However, in the first case, it is advisable to cover the beds with future greenery. Although these plants are cold-resistant, parsley can withstand frosts only down to –9 ° C, and dill even less. You can also sow these herbs throughout the summer to delight yourself with delicate greenery even in autumn. But after all, every summer resident wants to surprise his loved ones with fresh spices as early as possible, so we will dwell on the spring planting in detail.

Spring planting of greenery

You can sow the beds with dill at the beginning of April, the main thing is that the temperature is above –4 ° С. True, a lot depends on the region - in the more northern regions it is better to postpone planting until the end of the second month of spring. But you can plant parsley even at the end of March, as long as the snow melts from the garden. But for the sake of fairness, it should be said that the timing of planting and the rules of care largely depend on the variety. The most favorable for growing dill is neutral loose soil, but heavy soil is best avoided. Parsley is less whimsical, but if possible, fertile terrain should also be preferred.

How to plant parsley and dill correctly?

In order to sow the planting material as early as possible in the spring, the garden should be prepared in the fall. Upper layer earth about 20 cm deep needs to be dug well. It also does not hurt to make mineral fertilizers... Fertilize the area where you plan to settle fluffy dill with a mixture of superphosphate (10 g), ammonium nitrate (15 g) and potassium salt (10 g). The indicated proportions are entered in one square. It also does not hurt to add 2-3 kg of organic fertilizers. It is also worth adding a few kilograms of humus to the soil where you will grow parsley and add a little more nitrophosphate. The last substance is taken in a ratio of 25-30 g per square.

Mineral fertilizers for the garden

In the spring, as soon as the snow melted, it is necessary to properly level the area and apply potassium-phosphorus fertilizers, urea or ammonium nitrate. Next, we form small grooves, only 2 cm deep is enough. If you plan to grow dill, then leave at least 20 cm between the rows. But for parsley, it is permissible to halve this distance.

Before sowing, the soil should be slightly moistened. Half an hour before planting, the seed should be removed from the humid environment and dried. We scatter the seeds of dill or parsley and sprinkle them with loose soil. At the same time, watering the newly planted material is not worth it, because the seeds are very small and can go too deep with the flow of liquid, and then you will not see early greens. By mulching the beds with humus, you will only help the new inhabitants of the garden.

Features of caring for beds with herbs

As you can see, planting parsley is a simple matter, however, and dill is no exception. But you can enjoy fragrant herbs all summer long only when proper care... It is about him that we will talk about in this paragraph. If dill does not grow well, then you should feed it. Prepare a mixture of potassium salt and ammonium nitrate, taken 25 g each, and stir them in 10 liters of water. This solution is sufficient to fertilize 4 m2. Next, we thoroughly water the inhabitants of the flowing beds clean water... It should be remembered that dill leaves easily accumulate nitrates in themselves, so if you want fragrant greens to be beneficial, you should keep nitrogen fertilizers to a minimum. During the growing season, parsley also needs to be fed a couple more times. For this plant, organic and mineral substances are suitable.

Top dressing fragrant herbs in the garden

After planting, make sure that the area is not clogged with weeds and prevent the formation of a dry crust. This will negatively affect the germination of beneficial herbs. Also, remember to thin out the beds regularly. During the first treatment, it is enough to leave small gaps of about 3 cm, and then we increase this distance to 10 cm. Constant irrigation is the key to a good harvest. Either early morning or evening is best for watering.

But the departure does not end there. If you prefer early planting, then you should cover the area with a special cloth in the evening. So you will save seedlings from night frosts. But to protect the greenery from the scorching rays of the sun, you can create a shadow. Be sure to keep plant leaves healthy. At the first signs of disease, measures must be taken, otherwise you can be left without a crop at all.

Dill can be harvested as soon as its leaves have reached 20 cm in height and it is advisable to remove it directly from the root. Root parsley flaunts in the beds until autumn. Its leaves are cut before the first frost and placed in a cool, dark place, such as a basement. The roots can be left in the ground, or they can be dug up and stored in the cellar until next year by placing them in bags filled with wet sand. But leafy varieties of parsley are cut absolutely at any time of the year.

Parsley and dill are spicy plants widespread in our country. Doctors advise eating these green gifts of nature every day. Parsley, for example, contains folic acid, which replenishes the body with energy, improves the functioning of the brain and heart muscle.

Dill has a whole range of useful substances, which has a beneficial effect on digestive system and joints.

Dill and parsley are so unpretentious that even a novice gardener can grow them on their own plot. It takes less time to care for vitamin-rich greens than growing vegetables.

Parsley and dill do not require a lot of space and complex maintenance. It is important to know when and how to plant parsley and dill outdoors in order to get a good harvest and delight the family with juicy fragrant herbs.

Choosing a variety of parsley

Parsley is a highly popular herb that is used to flavor various dishes. Parsley has root and leafy species, many varieties have been bred.

Root parsley is used in cooking, for the preparation of medicinal broths. Leafy is used to get beautiful fragrant greenery to the table. Leafy parsley can have simple and curly leaves that are effective in decorating dishes.

According to the ripening period, all varieties of parsley can be divided into early, mid-season and late. Fresh greens of early leaf parsley can be obtained within 60 days after germination. This category includes the varieties Natalka, Astra, Nastya, Biser, Gloria, Russian feast, Chastushka. Sugar variety represents early root parsley.

Mid-season varieties of leaf parsley reach technical ripeness a few weeks after the early ones. The most popular of them: Sorceress, Katyusha, Breeze, Sandwich, Italian giant. The varieties of root parsley with medium ripening periods are in great demand: Doctor, Konika, Vostochnaya, Eagle.

Among plants with late ripening, the leaf variety Bogatyr and the root varieties Final, Pikantnaya, Alba are popular. For winter sowing, the varieties of root parsley Sugar, Khanachka, Urozhainaya and leaf Breeze, Bogatyr, Karnaval, Ordinary leaf have proven themselves well.

Sowing time in open ground

The time for sowing parsley in open ground begins in the second half of April. Parsley is cold-resistant and can easily withstand frost. It can be planted at a temperature of + 1 ... + 5 ° С.

Sowing time for parsley depends on the type of plant and the region. In the southern regions of Russia and middle lane parsley is sown in open ground from March 1 to 25, in the Far Eastern region - March 20-30, in the Urals and Siberia - from April 20.

Depending on the desired period for obtaining fresh herbs, parsley can be sown in the garden from the beginning of the spring season until mid-summer. Parsley takes a long time to grow. Planted on greens in April, it will only be usable in June.

Even a plant sown in summer will have time to give one harvest and prepare for winter. Experienced gardeners recommend sowing root parsley no later than May, so that full-fledged root crops have time to form before autumn.

How to sow parsley?

Parsley is a common, unpretentious two-year-old crop that does not have to be planted annually. Plants cut almost to the base will successfully overwinter and will please with the first harvest in May.

Seat selection

Parsley is a rather demanding crop that likes soil rich in fertilizers, moderately cold and damp. It grows well on loose and fertilized soils. Sandy loam or loamy soil is suitable for root parsley.

It grows well after potatoes and tomatoes, it takes root well next to carrots. It is not recommended to plant parsley in places where other umbrella crops used to grow: carrots, celery, cilantro, caraway seeds, dill. After these predecessors, parsley can only be sown after 4 years.

Parsley is undemanding to lighting and can grow well even in the shade. In sunny areas, seedlings appear earlier. The plant loves moisture, but it is not worth overmoistening the plantings.

Soil preparation

In the autumn period, organic fertilizers must be applied to the soil (5 kg per 1 square meter), and in the spring you can add 4 kg of compost, 15 grams of superphosphate, 20 grams of ammonium nitrate and 10 grams of potassium chloride to 1 square meter of the garden area.

The soil for sowing parsley in the spring must be prepared in advance: carefully weed the weeds, plow the earth, break up the lumps, make grooves 2 cm deep, keeping a distance of about 10 cm between them.

Seed treatment

Parsley seeds can be sown dry in the ground, but in this case they will germinate much later. To accelerate germination, it is recommended to soak them. First of all, parsley seeds need to be laid out on wet gauze, spread on a flat object, and set aside for 3-5 days.

They should be planted in the ground after the shoots begin to appear. For 10 days, after soaking, the seeds sprout amicably and evenly.

Sowing technology

It is better to sow parsley in open ground in grooves with a row spacing of 20-25 cm. You can not even make a separate bed, but plant it between other vegetables that ripen slowly. It is recommended to sow parsley seeds shallowly - no more than 1 cm.

The cultivation of root parsley has its own subtleties. You need to sow it in early spring, immediately to a permanent place. For good growth, root parsley requires potassium, so it is recommended to add ash to the soil before planting (1 glass per 1 square meter).

If the weather is dry, the bed must be watered abundantly before applying the ash. In damp weather, the ash can be simply scattered over the damp soil between the rows.

In order to provide protection to the seedlings during a sharp cold snap, after the sowing process is completed, it is advisable to cover the garden bed with plastic wrap, and after the first shoots appear - with lutrasil or other material.

Under polyethylene, parsley will quickly sprout, and after changing polyethylene to woven material, you will not need to worry that the seedlings may burn. Parsley beds must be watered, especially in dry weather.

To ensure that the parsley is regularly fed to the table, it is recommended to sow it in stages, about once every 1-2 weeks.

Choosing a variety of dill

Dill is very tasty in fresh salads, indispensable for preserving and pickling vegetables, creating winter stocks. This modest, unpretentious herb simply amazes with the amount of vitamins, macro- and microelements.

To grow an excellent yield of dill, it is important to know some of the characteristics of this plant:

• dill likes moist soil;
• he needs as much daylight as possible;
• dill grows poorly on poor lands;
• it is quite resistant to cold weather;
• the seeds of the culture do not germinate for a long time due to the high content of essential oils.

All varieties of dill can be divided into 3 groups:

• early ripe (Gribovsky, Grenadier) - you can collect greens already 35 days after germination;
• mid-season (Aelita, Richelieu) - produce more leaves and greenery itself, 40-45 days after germination, you can harvest;
• late ripening (Kibray, Salute) - their aromatic luxurious greens have an increased amount of nutrients.

The timing of sowing dill in open ground

Dill can withstand air temperatures down to -4 ° C, so its seeds can be dispersed from mid-spring. When it is + 3 ° С outside, their germination occurs, and at + 15 ... + 20 ° С, best temperature for the growth of greenery.

To receive early harvest dill must be sown in the first decade of April, if the temperature is acceptable for this. To ensure the continuous growth of young greens, seeds should be sown every two weeks.

To get fresh greens as early as possible, dill should be sown late autumn to a depth of about 3 cm, so that it does not have time to ascend before frost. It is recommended to cover the bed with a thin layer of humus and straw. Already in early spring, the sprouts that have hatched will delight with their vigorous appearance.

How to sow dill?

Dill is considered to be an easy crop to grow. For some gardeners, it grows like a weed, now and then appearing on the beds occupied by other crops, while others puzzle over why the plants are weak and lifeless. The fact is that sowing and caring for dill has its own characteristics.

Seat selection

Heavy soil is not suitable for dill, but in neutral fertile porous soil it takes root perfectly. If there is not enough space for a separate bed, the dill will grow well between the rows of potatoes, peppers or tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, zucchini.

The predecessors of dill in the garden can be different crops, with the exception of celery, after which dill grows poorly. Unlike parsley, dill requires only an unshaded sunny area, otherwise the plant will be dry and weak.

Soil preparation

It is advisable to prepare a dill bed in the fall in order to sow seeds early in the spring. Having dug the soil to a depth of 20 cm, humus is introduced into it at the rate of 5 kg per square meter.

Seed treatment

The germination process of dill seeds is rather long due to the high content of essential oils in the seeds. To reduce it, the seed material is previously placed in warm water for a period of about 3 days, which should be changed periodically.

Before planting, the seeds can be placed for a day in a growth stimulator, for example, "Epin-extra" (3-4 drops per 100 ml), and then for half an hour in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate for disinfection. After that, the dill seeds must be dried well.

Sowing technology

It is enough to carefully level the garden bed prepared in the fall in the spring, loosen the surface of the soil, make grooves 2 cm deep in it at a distance of 15 cm, water the soil and sow seeds. From above they are covered with loose soil and lightly tamped. Crops should not be watered, as seeds can go deep into the soil along with water.

When sowing dill in a separate bed, an interval of 10-15 cm is left between the rows. When sowing randomly per 1 square meter of the bed, 1-1.5 grams of seeds are sown. For winter sowing, it is recommended to double this amount.

You can plant dill even in winter. To do this, remove the snow from the garden bed, spread the seeds and cover with a layer of earth with humus. When the snow melts, the seeds, along with the water, will go into the ground and sprout there. In the spring, it is enough to cover the bed with a film and fix it around the edges, so that you get the first greens 1-2 weeks earlier than during spring planting.

Greenery care

Planting dill must be constantly thinned out, leaving a distance of 8-10 cm between the plants. This will ensure their growth in density, and not in height. While the dill is growing, it does not need feeding: the fertilizers obtained from the soil are enough for the plants.

Sometimes the dill plantings start to turn yellow. This is a sign that the plants are lacking nutrition or moisture. If the leaves of plants become reddish, this signals a lack of nitrogen in the soil.

Dill crops often affect aphids, for which it is advisable to use folk methods... The most affordable and harmless remedy is ordinary nettle, which is available in unlimited quantities to every gardener.

Fresh leaves and stalks of nettle must be poured with water and infused for several days. Planting dill is recommended to be watered abundantly with the resulting infusion. This method not only drives away aphids, but also serves as an excellent plant nutrition.

In 3-4 weeks after germination, you can harvest. At this time, the greens reach a height of 20-30 cm. The dill is simply pulled out of the soil along with the root.

It is also recommended to thin out parsley after germination, leaving the distance between the bushes of the leaf variety 20 cm, root - 7-15 cm. The cut leaves of parsley grow quickly, providing 2-3 harvests in the season. Overgrowth of parsley, when it releases arrows with flowers, should not be allowed.

For feeding young plants, 1 kilogram of rotted manure, 10 liters of settled rainwater, 15 grams of potassium sulfate and superphosphate are mixed until a homogeneous composition is obtained and introduced into the soil under each plant.

For the development of greenery, it is enough to feed the plants 2 times during the growing season. Feeding parsley is stopped in August, as it is able to accumulate trace elements in its roots.

Parsley should be watered regularly during dry summers. At insufficient watering the leaves of the plant become coarser, but the accumulation of essential oils contributes to the increase of the aroma.

Parsley is a bushy herb that is often used to prepare and decorate a variety of dishes. It can be added to conservation, dried or frozen for later use in winter. The most useful properties of this plant will be the normalization of digestion and an increase in appetite. But so that it is always present in dishes and on the table, you need to take care of how to plant and further grow parsley in the open field in a country house, greenhouse or at home in boxes of seeds. The garden of summer residents always has a bed for greens, especially parsley or dill different varieties... Taking care of this spicy bush, you can get a large and rich harvest of greenery.

Landing dates

In the spring, they begin to sow seeds of parsley and dill. The best time to start planting is April when the very coldy and the earth starts to warm up. Some people prefer to sow it all April, October-November, June-July. The time of sowing with seeds depends only on the goals and the desired result, for example, in the summer it is sown for good greenery on next year.

If you want to get it in early spring, then you need to plant it before winter, but here you need to guess with the weather conditions and prevent the seeds from freezing in the ground. Perfect option when all severe frosts have passed. Parsley, like dill, is not afraid of frosts down to -5 degrees. The most correct of all options when planted from seed in spring.

How to plant

A bed for parsley and dill is prepared in the autumn, but it is necessary to plant the prepared seeds in it in the spring. The leafy spice can be planted with seeds in the summer in July. Proper preparation soil in the fall for greens (dill, parsley) is as follows:

• a garden bed is being dug;
• fertilizers (organic) are applied to the soil 6-7 kg per 1 sq. m .;
• we add mineral fertilizers of the superphosphate type and potassium salt 20-30g per 1 sq. m .;
• in the spring, you should repeat the addition of mineral fertilizers superphosphate and potassium salt with the addition of urea 50g per 1 sq. m .;
• when the frosts have already passed, sowing seeds should be started in early April;
• the distance between the bushes should not exceed 6 cm; with dense germination, the bed must be thinned out;
• for higher yields, parsley should be planted in the place where cucumbers, potatoes, beets, cabbage grew last year.

Root crops are planted in open ground or greenhouses. In this case, preparation should be started a month before planting, in February.

How to plant by seeds

There are many methods for preparing parsley or dill seeds for sowing. Seed soaking is carried out 3-4 days before planting in the ground. You should wet gauze or cotton cloth, pour seeds into it, spill them with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and leave for a couple of days for germination. With the appearance of sprouts, the seeds are removed to the refrigerator for hardening. Without hardening, parsley, like dill, can sprout up to two weeks. After sowing seeds in the ground, special care and frequent watering are needed so that the seeds do not disappear in the ground, but it is not required to fill the garden bed, otherwise the seeds will rot.

For rapid germination, a forced method is used. Quicklime is added to the grooves for future plants, sprinkling with it quite a bit, and the seeds are soaked in milk for 2-5 hours. After soaking the seeds, they must be sown into the grooves and watered with water, the groove is covered with earth. The first shoots will appear in a day. This method can also be applied to dill for early greens.

There is also a widely used method when the cultivation of parsley in the open field is done by dry sowing in the ground. In this way, the seeds simply need to be sown in the garden without additional actions with them. This type of planting does not require much effort, but they will germinate later than soaked seeds.

Care and cultivation

In the greenhouse, parsley is grown by forcing green leaves and roots. Root crops should be kept in wet sand at a low temperature before planting. Several grooves are prepared in the garden bed and planted in such a way that the upper part of the root remains above the ground. The approximate distance between the rows of such plantings is 15 cm, and between the parsley bushes 7 cm.

It can also be grown at home if there is no suburban area. To do this, we prepare a drainage box, with soil treated warm water and rammed. The prepared seeds are planted in a box half a centimeter deep. Watering such home garden is made from a spray bottle and the soil is constantly monitored, which should not dry out.

• the soil should be kept slightly moist, but not wet or dry;
• be sure to follow temperature regime, which should not be less than 15-20C;
• if the daylight hours are short, we take a light lamp and additionally illuminate the plant at a distance of 60 cm from the box;
• after germination, the plants need to be thinned out;

When planting and caring for this type, the first greens can be harvested in 1.5 months. Care for grown parsley in the beds is done in this way:

1. Cutting parsley can occur throughout the season if, as the bushes grow, sow new rows every two weeks and properly care.
2. You need to feed parsley several times during the period of active growth. Saltpeter is well suited for growing large parsley leaves, it will give a large increase in greenery. Phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, applied in August, contribute to the beneficial development of root crops in parsley.
3. Regular thinning of bushes and quality care behind them will give a good and large harvest.
4. Weeding and loosening the soil is essential for a good metabolism and the ingress of oxygen into the ground.
5. It is necessary to monitor the healthy appearance of parsley leaves in order to take timely measures to treat them.
6. Watering parsley is done in the evening, and starting in August, it is watered abundantly for good quality root crops.

Root vegetables are dug up in September and stored in a cold, leafless place. Parsley is harvested in autumn, before the first frost. Without digging up the parsley roots next spring, you can get an early harvest of parsley. Its leaves are cut at any time and frozen or dried.

Surprisingly, in some people "greenery" grows like weeds, appearing in neighboring areas, while in others it barely grows. In our material, we will look at how dill and parsley are planted in the spring so as to get an excellent harvest, because the cultivation of such plants has its own subtleties that the gardener needs to know about.

Even beginners can cope with planting and growing these crops, since both dill and parsley are very easy to grow and care for, because these plants are very unpretentious to care for, frost-resistant, and can take root on any soil.

However, there are a number of rules, adhering to which, you will be able to grow a healthy and rich harvest of healthy and tasty greens.

Parsley is a biennial plant, so the seeds can be sown in the garden every year. Both of these plants love lighted areas, but even when planted in a dark place, they will yield crops, but both dill and parsley will grow and develop more slowly.

Sometimes you need to wait long enough for the first shoots to appear, which is due to the high content of essential oils in the seeds in these plants. To speed up the process, you need to prepare seed material, but we will talk about this a little later. Also, to get an early harvest, you can replant before winter, but this process is much more complicated.

How to prepare seed?

Do you want to collect already at the beginning of May excellent harvests lush and luscious greenery? In this case, it is very important to prepare the seeds first.

Let's talk about preparing dill. Place its seeds in a cloth bag and soak in warm water (approximately + 50 degrees) for three days. In this case, the water must be changed at least four times a day.

This will increase the yield and resistance of plants to various diseases. Then take the steamed sawdust: remove the seed material from a damp cloth, put it on a dry bag and cover it with sawdust on top.

Leave future plantings in this form for 2-3 days at a temperature of at least +20 degrees. Once the seeds germinate, they can be planted in the ground. Parsley seeds are prepared in almost the same way, except for soaking - you can simply cover the seeds with a damp cloth and leave them in this state until they germinate.

This is one of the most beloved spices among domestic gardeners. The green part of the plant is eaten, used for preserving food, decorating dishes with it, preparing decoctions and tinctures.

You can land according to the following scheme:

1. Prepare the soil in spring or autumn, select a lighted area, carefully loosen the soil. We introduce mineral fertilizers into it at autumn planting, and when planting in the spring, you need to use urea or ammonium nitrate.
2. Process the seeds according to the scheme we told you about just above. Try to be sure to carry out these activities to improve the yield of plants.
3. As soon as the seed has hatched, you can start planting. On the site, we make grooves not 1-1.5 cm deep, the distance between the grooves is about 10 cm.

And if you want to get a consistent harvest, you need to sow the seeds in specific stages every two weeks. Regularly thin out the emerging seedlings, remove the weeds, which take away all the useful microelements. Parsley also needs to be watered regularly - they have harvested, watered the beds. If a drop in temperature is expected, cover the soil with a film, which will protect the seedlings from freezing.

Here we will tell you in detail. how to arrange the beds on the site according to all the rules.

In this article, we'll show you how to plant and care for a Moorish lawn.

To correctly make a flower bed in the country, just study our material with expert advice.

The most popular varieties of parsley include:

• Berlinskaya is a very “powerful” variety, the root crop of which is about 20 cm in length and about 4 cm in diameter.
• A productive variety - the ripeness period reaches 120 days.
• Common leaf is a very lush variety that reaches maturity in 70 days.
• Aster is a very "curly" variety of parsley.

Planting dill is best done in late March or early April after the snow melts. This plant begins to grow at temperatures above + 3 degrees Celsius, but at the same time comfortable conditions for him the temperature is over + 15 degrees.

Planting dill with seeds

We prepare the plot in the fall: we dig up the soil, add fertilizers. In the spring we level the soil and make grooves about 2 cm deep at a distance of at least 20 cm from each other. We carefully water the plot and sprinkle seeds on the ground, sprinkling them with a small amount of earth.

The crops themselves do not need to be watered, since the seeds, along with the water, can go deeper into the soil. However, as soon as the first shoots appear, you will have to water the garden often, but do not overdo it - this can cause diseases or the appearance of pests. Also, do not forget to thin out the plantings, we make a free space of at least 10 cm between the bushes - in this case, the plant will grow in width, and not in height.

It is not necessary to feed the dill, but if you notice that it has turned yellow, you can add some nitrogen to the soil. After 4-5 weeks, the first crop can be harvested. The most famous varieties include:

• A kibray that needs to be landed early enough. Its height is about 35-40 cm.
• Alligator - perfectly adapts to any soil, such dill can be grown both in the greenhouse and in the open field. It can give several harvests per season.
• Dalny variety, which ripens early and is resistant to major pests and diseases.
• One more famous variety- Abundant-leaved, which is distinguished by a powerful bush, large harvest. It is good both fresh and frozen, it is also used for salting.

How to care for dill and parsley after planting?

As you can see, planting dill and parsley is a very simple process, but in order to get a good harvest, the plants must be carefully taken care of. Let's take a closer look at all the stages of care.

For example, if dill or parsley grows very slowly, they should be fed, for which you need to prepare a mixture of ammonium and potassium nitrate (25 g of each drug), mix in 10 liters of water. This mixture is enough to irrigate four square meters of soil. Next, water the beds well with clean water.

It is important to remember that the "green" very quickly absorbs nitrates, therefore any nitrogen fertilization should be applied to a minimum, and it is better to abandon them altogether. Parsley should be fed twice a season using organic and mineral supplements.

Greens and parsley are the most delicious greens

After the first shoots appear, you need to ensure that there are no weeds and dry earthen crust on the garden bed, as this can lead to a cessation of plant growth. Do not forget to thin out the beds:

1. During the first processing, you can leave gaps of about 3-5 cm.
2. With the second, we increase the distance to 10 cm.

The key to a good harvest is regular irrigation, watering the beds with greenery either early in the morning or late in the evening.

But that's not all. If you spent early plantings, it is necessary to cover the beds in the evenings with a special cloth, for example, lutrasil. This will keep your plants safe from the morning cold. Also try to create shade if the temperature is too high - the sun's rays will simply burn the plantings.

Also, make sure that the greens were healthy - at the first manifestation of any diseases, remove the bush from the garden, and pour the ground itself with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

Dill is harvested after the height of the bush reaches about 20-25 cm in height, while it is advisable to pull out the plant along with the root. But parsley can be in the beds until late autumn. The leaves of the plant must be cut off before the onset of the first frost and sent for storage in a refrigerator or other cool place. The main thing is not to pick greens during the rain or after - this way they will wither very quickly.

These two types of greenery are known and planted by all summer residents. After all, parsley and dill are added to many dishes - from salads to soups. The beneficial effect of greens on the body has long been known. But how to plant correctly and what subtleties when leaving - know, oddly enough, not many gardeners.

Today I am sharing with you my experience and knowledge about the features of planting, the choice of seeds, the competent care of parsley and dill in the beds, as well as attach photos and videos.

The plant is one of the most popular among the grown greens in the beds in central Russia. Valued not only for taste qualities, but also for the undeniable healing properties... This herb and its root contains mineral salts, essential oils, vitamins.

She has been known since ancient greece to this day it is actively used in cooking. We eat both parsley root, which gives a specific taste to dishes, and the herbs themselves.

• Parsley belongs to the Umbrella family. It is a herbaceous plant and is mainly biennial. Some varieties only grow for one year.
• The bush of this plant consists of straight stems with two-pinnate or three-pinnate leaves of a juicy green color.
• In the first year of life, it is actively formed root system and the development of leaves and shoots, and on the second - flowering and formation of fruits and seeds.
• The fruits are oval, rounded and slightly flattened on the sides.
• The plant is frost-resistant and tolerates temperatures up to - 7 - 10 degrees. Therefore, right up to mid-autumn, you can delight yourself and loved ones with fresh parsley from your garden.

Parsley is divided into 2 types: root, which is used mainly for preservation, sauces and hot dishes, and leaf (or curly) - it is decorated holiday dishes and consumed fresh (salads).

Dill

It is impossible to imagine our beds without this plant with a specific spicy aroma. Just like parsley, dill has mass useful properties and includes many vitamins and substances necessary for human health.

Dill is used both fresh in various dishes, as well as for pickling and preservation.

• The plant belongs to the Umbrella family. Has a special fragrant and spicy aroma. Dill is an annual plant.
• The stem is single, extending from 40 cm to 1.5 meters in height.
• The shape of the leaves is represented by fluffy dissected threadlike brushes.
• Flowering occurs in the first months of summer and consists of umbrellas with a diameter of 2 cm to 10 cm.
• The fruits are called viscarp and have the form of oval oblong grains - seeds up to 5 mm long and one and a half mm wide. They ripen in the second half of July, the seed material finishes forming by the beginning of autumn.

Both parsley and dill are cold weather tolerant herbs and they also love moist soil. Already at a temperature of 2 - 3 degrees, they are capable of active growth.

Planting rules

In this section, we will get acquainted step by step with the features of soil and seed preparation before planting. Compliance with the instructions will ensure active growth of plants and an uninterrupted harvest all summer and half of autumn.

Choosing a place and preparing the soil for planting greenery

These plants are quite unpretentious and do not require a lot of time. But still, there are some features of soil preparation and planting.

If you correctly select a plot in the garden for planting greenery, then the harvest will pleasantly surprise and delight you.

1. In the autumn period, you should carefully dig up the soil and add fertilizers: at the rate of 1 square meter, 5 liters of humus are mixed into the soil (you can replace it with a mullein, which is diluted with water 1:10), one third of a bucket of sand and one tablespoon of superphosphate.
2. If it was not possible to dig up the ground in the fall, then before sowing the seeds, it is recommended to add mineral fertilizers to the soil in the form of 15 - 20 g of urea, about 30 g of superphosphate and 15 - 20 g of potash salt per square meter.
3. So that the stalks and leaves of dill do not start to turn red, you should avoid soil saturated with lime. Such soil is not terrible for parsley.
4. Planting dill and parsley seeds may not be postponed in the spring until stably warm days and nights. It's not scary if there are still small residual frosts at night - greens tolerate poorly warmed soil well and are not afraid of frosts.
5. When you plant the seeds, you can mix them with a little sand for convenience, as they are very small.
6. In order to still slightly protect the seed material from too damp and frozen soil, it can be planted not in holes, but not in ridges. The planted seeds are sprinkled with earth on top.
7. The place for sowing can be chosen both in the shade or partial shade, and in the sun. Although the sun's rays contribute to the more active growth of parsley. Dill is recommended to be planted exclusively in a sunny area, otherwise the plant will be sluggish and not active in growth.

So, in the process of preparing the soil, there is nothing complicated. Even a novice gardener can cope with the choice of a planting site, digging up soil and fertilizers.

Cooking dill and parsley seeds for planting

It is believed that the seeds of these two types of greenery do not germinate quickly and germinate rather slowly. Therefore, experienced gardeners recommend several preparatory processes with seeds.

• Place the seeds in a small bag made of gauze or natural fabric. Then soak in water for several days. In this case, the liquid must be changed at least five times a day.
• Then the seeds are spread on a damp cloth for 3 to 4 days.
• The third step is drying the seed. You will soon see that the seeds prepared in this way for planting will sprout much faster and will be friable in consistency.

It is possible not to do preliminary soaking, but to immediately plant dry seeds in open ground. Then the first shoots will appear much later, and the plants may not turn out so juicy and lush.

Sowing seeds in open ground

You can plant crops in the spring, preferably in April. It is possible to disembark before winter, in November. Then the first shoots will be after the last snow melts.

• In the prepared area, furrows up to two centimeters deep should be made, the distance between the rows should be kept at least 20-30 cm. This will provide the necessary area for the full development and active growth of plants. There should be a distance of 3-5 centimeters between the seeds themselves.
• Dill is planted at the rate of 20-30 grams of seeds per square meter. The land must be well moistened before planting.
• After planting, it is recommended to cover the beds with foil to protect the plants from night frosts. Although both dill and parsley are frost-resistant, it's worth playing it safe.
• It is not recommended to water the beds abundantly for several days after planting, because the seeds can go deeper into the soil. This can hinder the further development and growth of greenery.
• To ensure that the harvest is constant, throughout the season, planting is carried out not once, but is divided into several stages. In 14 - 20 days after the first stage of sowing, you can annoy the second time.

Green crops are completely undemanding, one has only to provide fertile fertilized soil and seeds prepared in advance for planting.

Dill and parsley care

• When the first shoots appear in parsley, thinning is mandatory: the distance between the shoots should be at least 10-15 cm for the root and 20 cm for the leaf parsley.
• Thinning is also necessary for dill. Leave a gap of about 10 cm between the bushes. This will ensure that the dill grows wide, making it thick and juicy. Without the thinning procedure, dill grows quickly.
• Dill harvest ripens in about a month after germination. If the plant has reached 30 - 40 cm in height, then it can be plucked together with the root.
• parsley, its roots are stored in the same way as carrots: in a cool and dark place in a container with sand. Greens are often dried and also used in cooking.
• It is imperative to water the greens throughout the entire growth. Dry soil can lead to wilting of bushes and slower growth and flowering.
• For dill, top dressing is not necessary in the growth stage. If the soil is poor, then you can add liquid manure, ammonium nitrate and nitrogen, and during flowering, plants need potassium and phosphorus.

Some greenery lovers grow dill and parsley right on the windowsill in pots. After planting the seeds, after 4 weeks, the first shoots already appear. Especially in winter, such fresh greens are welcomed by all households without exception.

Traditionally, it is believed that growing greens is not difficult. However, what to do for those who have never faced such tasks or did not get the desired harvest. You need to know when to plant greens in order to get a good result for sure and not to miss this moment.

Open ground must first be prepared. It is important that it is already warm enough outside, but to exclude the possibility of plants freezing. Most often, if you want to plant greens with seeds, then you need to do this in the spring. You can start work in the fall, but this does not always become a guarantee of the harvest.

Specific dates may depend on the climate, from the variety. When to plant parsley or dill, only experienced specialists are able to answer, given which open ground you choose. It is worth understanding in more detail what the terms are, depending on what kind of greenery you need to see on your site.

Varieties and features

Before answering when to plant your greens, decide on the varieties. The least whimsical are:

1. Dill.
2. Parsley.
3. Leaf salad.
4. Spinach.

Arugula is also considered quite cold-resistant, but it is better to plant it in open ground later than the above plants. Seeds are good for both watercress and green onions... The latter can also be planted in the form of bulbs.

When and how to plant dill

If you like greens, then you should plant dill. This plant is distinguished by its unpretentiousness, sometimes it is even perceived as a weed. Nevertheless, not all soil in the spring is suitable for planting. It is allowed to start work already in March, since dill is a cold-resistant plant that can withstand even small subzero temperatures... But the real mass planting takes place in late April or early May. Here it is advisable to take into account the following tips:

• the best soil for dill is black soil;
• dill will grow better if fertilized or humus is applied;
• after mass planting, you can repeat the procedure for introducing seeds into open ground in a couple of weeks at the same place.

If you do everything right, then after which time you will see seedlings. Thus, it is a good idea to add seeds constantly, until autumn and frost, so that there is always greens on the table.

Parsley and salad

As soon as the leaves appear, it's time to calmly plant the bushes in the soil. The main thing is to do it in such a way as to exclude frosts already.

Other types of greenery

It is quite difficult to grow watercress. This is done in three steps. To begin with, the seeds are thrown into the holes at the end of April. Then the procedure is repeated until mid-May. Final stage- sowing seeds in early June. After that, the greens are not touched, it should appear in a couple of weeks.

Experts are allowed to plant arugula even at the beginning of April, but on condition that the air has already warmed up to at least ten degrees Celsius. If there are still frosts at night, then it is worth postponing the disembarkation for a week or two. Re-planting is then repeated every 20 days if you want to have a consistent crop of greens. You will be able to have arugula on the table until the end of August.

For sorrel lovers, it will also not be difficult to get a bountiful harvest. This plant is considered to be very unpretentious. That is why seeds can be applied as soon as the snow melts in March. They are not afraid of even small frosts. If you want to have sorrel even in the middle of autumn, then continue sowing it in the summer, and even at the end of August.

To get green onions, you need to understand how you want to grow them - seeds or bulbs. The last option is considered simpler. It is not for nothing that the plant is grown on a windowsill, even without land - in water. The advantage of bulbs is that they can be planted outdoors even in early spring when the snow melts. Late autumn is also suitable for this time. But by introducing seeds in July, as expected with this method, you will only get a harvest next spring.

V summer period no table can do without greens. To provide the family with greenery throughout the summer, it is necessary to properly plant parsley and dill. Even an inexperienced gardener can do this.

This plant can easily tolerate frosts down to -4 degrees. That is why you can sow seeds immediately after the snow has melted from the garden and frost from the ground. Dill seeds are capable of germinating at temperatures of +3 degrees. Optimal conditions for growing this plant, the temperature range is from +15 to +20 degrees. To ensure consistent greens are produced throughout the season, you need to sow the seeds every two weeks. An early harvest of this plant can be obtained already in the first decade of April.

Dill loves neutral and loose soils. When choosing a heavy soil, the similarity, growth and development of this plant will be much worse than in loose soil.

To facilitate planting seeds in spring it will be best to prepare the garden in the fall. To do this, you need to dig up the ground to a depth of at least 20 centimeters. At the same time, mineral fertilizers and humus are introduced into the soil. In the spring, it will be necessary to carefully level the surface of the garden bed and make grooves on it, the depth of which is at least 2 centimeters.

Dill growing tips:

• Dill is best planted in rows.
• The distance between them is 20 centimeters.
• After stretching the grooves and moistening the greenery, the seeds are planted in the ground.
• Sprinkle the seeds on top with loose earth. In this case, the soil must be slightly moistened.
• It is not necessary to water the crops, as this will lead to the fact that the seeds go far into the soil.

In order to get dill greens as early as possible, it is necessary to plant seeds before winter. For this purpose, the preparation of the beds is carried out in the fall. At the same time, they are refueled. organic fertilizers... Dill planting in this case should be done before the ground freezes. At the same time, the rate of planting seeds should increase by 25 percent, and the depth of planting seeds should be at least 3.5 centimeters.

In order to protect the bed from crusting it. With its help, seedlings will not appear during the first thaw. Compaction of the soil with such a planting does not need to be done.

Dill seeds can also be planted in winter period... This requires:

• Prepare the soil in autumn.
• In winter, the bed must be freed from snow and seeds must be scattered over its surface.
• Crops must be covered with a layer of earth, which, or one humus.
• After the snow begins to melt, the seeds will be sucked in with the help of the melt water and will begin to germinate. This will allow you to get an early and full harvest.

Winter and sub-winter methods of planting this plant allow you to cut seeds a few weeks earlier.

In order to ensure a constant harvest of dill and parsley, it is necessary to plant them in stages, that is, to plant them in parts with an interval of 1-2 weeks. After seed germination, after two weeks, it is necessary to thin out these plants. Moreover, the distance between individual plants should be between 7 and 15 centimeters when planting a root variety and 20 centimeters when planting a leafy variety. This will ensure the formation of a healthy and full-bodied bush.

Watering greens should be done regularly.

In order to protect the plant from yellowing in the summer, it is necessary to plant seeds. This is because the sprouts will be protected from the daily sun of the day. If you need to get an early harvest, you can plant seeds from greenery.

It is necessary to grow dill and parsley seedlings in an undimmed place. This will allow you to get fresh herbs in large quantities already at the beginning of May.

You can grow dill and parsley not only in the open field, but also on the windowsill:

• The first harvest of these plants when grown in this way will appear in a month.
• When planting plants on the windowsill, you can significantly save the number of seeds and get a larger amount of spice.
• These plants are very fond of moist soil and the sunny side, which ensures their full growth and development.

Dill and parsley grow very poorly on unfertilized soil, so you should not make such mistakes when growing these crops. When planting greenery, you need to pay attention to their varieties. Each variety of these plants may have its own growing characteristics, which must be taken into account without fail. V otherwise you can reduce the level of productivity of these plants.

When growing parsley and dill, it must be remembered that the lighting level is the decisive factor for them.

The lower it is, the longer the greenery will grow and, accordingly, the later is harvested. Planting seeds should be done in early spring, when the daylight hours are long enough. It is necessary to adhere to this rule not only when planting plants in open ground, but also when growing them in indoor conditions... To get parsley greens in winter, you can dig up parsley bushes in the fall and transplant them into indoor pots.
