Organic Greek Parsley seeds (petroselinum sativum) Listing for 500 seeds germination rate 85% All seeds in my shop are from my organic garden here in Greece. Seeds comes to you in handmade paper bags. Parsley is a diuretic herb that helps keep your body?s plumbing in good working order, by helping it to get rid of extra water. If eaten regularly, it is reputed to help prevent problems such as kidney stones and bladder infections. In addition to being a kidney and liver tonic, parsley is a carminative (it helps your digestive system) and is sometimes used to remedy flatulence and colic pains. It is believed to be an emmenagogue, stimulating the menstrual process (not recommended in large quantities during pregnancy). It can also help ease bloating resulting from menstruation. How to grow: Growing parsley is best in rich, well-drained soils (mix in a dose of compost to help drainage and provide nutrients for your plants!) in a sunny or mostly sunny location. Prepare the parsley bed by digging the soil well, and mixing in a healthy helping of compost and/or well-rotted manure. For optimal growing conditions, the soil pH should be between 6.0 and 7.0 (Information on how to test and change your garden soil's pH level.) If growing parsley in a container, make sure that the pot drains well (that the soil drains well, and that holes at the bottom aren?t blocked). Planting: Parsley seed is slow to germinate (it can take up to a month). The day before planting, soak the seeds overnight in water to help the germination process along. When growing parsley, plant seeds in your herb garden in early summer when the air is warm and danger of frost has passed. Lightly cover the seed with soil and keep the soil moist (but not soggy). Watering: When growing parsley, it is best to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Don?t let the soil dry out. You can add mulch around your parsley plants to help the soil retain water better.
