Ease of Cultivation and Culinary Use: The Kitchen Garden Blend Parsley is a carefully curated mix of various parsley types, providing a range of flavors and textures that enhance any culinary creation. This blend is relatively easy to grow, thriving in well-drained soil and preferring full sun to partial shade. It’s perfect for home gardens, as it can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and salads to garnishes, making it a versatile staple in any kitchen.

Direct Sowing: For direct sowing, plant the Kitchen Garden Blend Parsley seeds outdoors after the last frost in rich, well-drained soil. Sow the seeds about ¼ inch deep and space them 8-10 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart. Germination typically takes 14–30 days, so keeping the soil consistently moist during this period is essential for promoting sprouting. Make sure the plants receive adequate sunlight to support healthy growth and flavor development.

Early Sowing for Seedlings: To start early, sow Kitchen Garden Blend Parsley seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use seedling trays filled with quality potting mix, lightly covering the seeds with soil. Maintain a temperature around 70°F for optimal germination. Once the seedlings have developed several true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors, ensuring proper spacing for robust growth and health.

Harvesting: To determine when the Kitchen Garden Blend Parsley is ready for harvest, look for healthy plants with well-formed leaves, typically within 75-90 days. You can begin harvesting once the leaves are lush and vibrant, snipping off sprigs as needed. The best time to harvest is in the morning after the dew has dried, as this is when the essential oils are most concentrated. Regular harvesting will encourage bushier growth and ensure a continuous supply of parsley throughout the growing season.
