Steps:

  1. Soak parsley seeds in hot water for at least a couple of hours to speed up germination.
  2. Sow the seeds in warm ground (early spring) at 3-inch intervals.
  3. Make sure a spot you’ve chosen receives enough sunlight and moisture.
  4. Water the plants deeply once a week.

After a long break By 15 October 2011 at 12:08 pm and have No Comments

Hello everyone!

After a long break I’ve decided to start blogging about gardening again. I am still very busy with my main job. I run my own small web design studio and it takes a lot of time. After a day of work I am normally very tired and don’t have a mood to blog. I’ve abandoned even my personal blog and normally have a power to post to my facebook account and that’s it.

But I will still try to post here at least one per month. I have a lot to share with you, my fellow gardeners :)

Thank you to those who subscribed to my RSS and still with me!

Next post is going to be posted on Monday-Tuesday and will give you a tips of how to grow Sage.
