Why doesn't parsley come up and what to do?

One of the most common crops grown in the garden is parsley. However, this useful plant is quite whimsical and often gives surprises in the form of crop failure or poor sprouting.

To begin with, it should be noted that a rather long period passes from sowing seeds to germination of greenery, therefore those who decided to grow this crop should have a lot of patience. And the thing is that the seeds of greens are saturated with various essential oils. These oils delay the process of moisture, thereby slowing the growth of culture. If after 2 or 3 weeks the parsley has not grown, then there is a risk of getting a poor harvest.

Parsley does not sprout for various reasons, for example, because of:

• use of spoiled seeds;
• use of incorrect sowing and cultivation techniques.

For planting greenery it is necessary to prepare the ground by weeding and the formation of beds. The ground should be wet, warm enough. Therefore, it is better to plant a garden after the snow melts and the ground warms up. In order for the soil to bear fruit, it must contain organic substances, minerals. The depth of planting seeds should not be large, from 1 to 2 cm. The heavier the soil, the higher the seeds should be located to the surface.

After sowing, the soil is slightly trampled, otherwise there is a risk that the grains will go very deep into the ground, this will create additional obstacles for their growth. In the process of cultivation should ensure that the soil was saturated with moisture.

To eliminate undesirable results, consider the following points:

• the seeds must be fresh;
• it is better to purchase products from manufacturers that exist on the market for a long time and have proven themselves on the positive side;
• The risk of crop failure in dry, heavy ground is higher, so you need to carefully study the characteristics of the soil.

In order to get one hundred percent result, you can use these seed treatment recipes.

• Put the grains in hot water for a few minutes, then hold in water at room temperature for 8-9 hours and dry thoroughly.
• Soaking seeds in milk for 25 minutes contributes to the rapid germination of sprouts, increases their resistance to the negative effects of the external environment. In this case, the soil should be treated with quicklime. This should be done at intervals of 10 minutes in 2 or 3 sets.
• You can try to soak the seeds in alcohol, and after they swell, the grain must be washed and dried. It should be noted that the seeds hold no more than 10 minutes. Otherwise, you can get the opposite effect.

Remember that it is the right approach when growing parsley is the key to a rich harvest.
