How to grow fresh vitamin parsley in winter at home: sharing my experience

I want to share with you our experience of growing parsley in the winter on a windowsill. We have been growing parsley in this way for three years now, and all winter we have fresh vitamin greens. One of the ways to get vitamin products is forcing parsley on the windowsill.

In late autumn, while the parsley has not yet completely left for winter rest, you can prepare it and receive it in room for a long time vitamin products due to the energy that can be stored in plants. Parsley grows very well in indoor conditions, we cut it as needed continuously throughout the growing season.

On the windowsill is planted what would have died in the garden from frost.

We need a little land. If the ground gets cold, it's okay, you can break blocks of earth with parsley root. Next, bring the plants into the room, they will thaw there, and the greens will appear no worse than when transplanted before frost.

By plucking the leaves for current consumption, we stimulate the regrowth of new leaves. The speed of regrowth of greenery is regulated by changing the temperature and illumination - we bring the plants closer to the window or remove from it, open or close the window, take it out to the balcony, put it in the warmest or coldest places premises.

For many millennia, parsley has learned to accumulate substances in its rhizomes, which allow spring with the first warm to awaken from life due to the accumulated energy, quickly form leaves and begin the process of photosynthesis.

We forcing parsley in boxes or ceramic flower pots. Before planting the rhizomes, we disinfect.

It is advisable to treat the container with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. We put drainage on the bottom of the pot or box: broken brick or expanded clay. Top up with sand and soil mixture.

Sprinkle the planted rhizomes with sand so that diseases do not start. The planted rhizomes should not be watered for the first week.
