How to grow rosemary and parsley at home

Parsley offers many health benefits and has various gastronomic uses. This plant can be easily grown at home, so that you keep its characteristic taste and smell and always have it at hand. Parsley grown at home is fresher and tastier, and its medicinal properties are not altered at all.

You need:

Parsley seeds
Earth for flowers
Flower
The water

Instructions:

The first thing you need to do is find a place where the plant will get between four and six hours of sunlight each day. The parsley must be exposed to the sun for a long time in order to grow. Otherwise it will be difficult for you to grow this plant.

Fill the pot with flower soil, leaving between 2.5 and 5 cm (ie 1-2 inches) free on the surface, then plant the parsley seeds. You can plant them at any time of the year, but it is recommended that the seedlings are not exposed to excessive heat or cold.
The germination process of parsley is somewhat slow. It is not uncommon for seedlings to appear only several days after planting the seeds.
Make sure the pot provides good drainage so that the plant does not drown.
To keep the parsley compact and fragile, do not let it bloom. Remove the flowers every time the plant makes buds. You can use these flowers and their seeds to grow more parsley.
