Planting parsley in spring

Plant celery in spring, sow from January to March, and transplant in March to April. Celery likes coolness and is afraid of heat. The best growth temperature is 15-20℃. When the temperature exceeds 26℃, it is not conducive to growth and development, and will damage the quality.

Planting parsley in summer

Plant celery in the summer, sow in June to early July, transplant in August to early September, and harvest in October to November. In seasons with high temperatures, appropriate shading and cooling measures must be taken to ensure the smooth growth of celery.

Planting parsley in autumn

The cool autumn is more suitable for the growth of celery. It can be cultivated in the open field in the Yangtze River Basin and the south, sown from September to November, and harvested from December to April of the following year. In the north, sowing and seedling raising are carried out from June to early July, transplanting is carried out from August to early September, and harvesting is carried out from October to November. In the Yangtze River Basin, sowing is carried out from early July to early September, and harvesting is carried out from October to December.

Planting parsley in winter

Celery planted in winter should be grown in a greenhouse and the indoor temperature should be maintained at 15-20 degrees. Late-sown celery can be harvested before bolting in March or April of the following spring.

How to grow parsley

Parsley has shallow roots and is highly adaptable to soil, but is suitable for planting in fertile, loose, well-drained land. It is best to deep plow the soil before planting and apply sufficient base fertilizer, preferably organic fertilizer. Using organic fertilizer as base fertilizer will make the grown celery have a strong flavor.

1. Temperature requirements: Parsley is a cold-resistant vegetable, and the growth temperature varies at different periods. Generally, the suitable growth temperature during the seed germination period is around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, and the growth temperature during the nutritional period is between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius.

2. Light conditions: Parsley does not require very high light for growth. It can grow even in the shade, and it grows better in places with sufficient light.

3. Fertilizer: When growing celery, it mainly absorbs nitrogen fertilizer. Increasing the amount of phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer can help the growth of seedlings and improve the length and quality of the petiole.

4. Water: Parsley requires a lot of water during its vigorous growth period. The soil should be kept moist, not too dry, but also without water accumulation.

5. Soaking seeds for germination: Before sowing, the celery seeds must be soaked for germination. Soak the seeds in cold water for two to four hours. After washing, drain the water and then place them in an environment of fifteen to twenty degrees Celsius for germination.
