One way to speed up the germination of parsnip & parsley seed is to allow the seeds to soak up moisture before they are planted. Both parsnip and parsley seed are notoriously slow to germinate, but this speeds the process up.
To aid germination:
- wet a towel & wring out the surplus water
- cover half the wet towel with a single layer of seed
seed-on-wet-towel
- wrap the other half of the towel over the seed, so that it is covered
- keep the towel moist & at room temperature
- sow the seed 24 hours after wrapping in the towel
- once soaked, the seeds must be sown, as the process of germination will have started
- do not allow the seeds to dry out, as the germination will be upset
- do not keep any seed that is left over, for sowing later, as it will probably not germinate once it has dried out
Gardeners are always wondering why their parsley & parsnip seed is not germinating, so try this way to speed up germination.
