Therefore, they can be grown on the same bed or side by side. However, in the place where carrots grew in the previous year, parsley cannot be sown. But after,,,,, root crops grow juicy and fleshy, especially if the soil in the beds has been fertilized with organic matter. Because parsley loves fertile, fairly moist and loose soil. Works well on loamy or sandy soils.
If the soil is poor, uncultivated, in the fall it is dug up in two layers. For digging, 3-4 kg / m2 of compost or humus and 50-80 g / m2 of complex mineral fertilizer are applied. On heavy and damp soils, sand (5-6 kg / m2) is added, otherwise the root crops, making their way through a dense layer of earth, lose nice shape. In the spring make 15-20 g ammonium nitrate, 40-50 g of superphosphate and 20-30 g of potassium sulfate. Fertilizers on light soil are closed by loosening, on heavy soil - by digging, followed by leveling the surface of the bed.
AT middle lane sowing root parsley can be carried out in early spring(at the end of April) and before winter (end of October - beginning of November). In the middle of summer (late June - early July), southerners usually sow. parsley seeds develop very slowly. To speed up germination, soak them in warm water or in a 0.2% potassium permanganate solution for 2 days, changing the water daily. After the seeds swell, wash clean water and scattered on porous wet paper, maintaining it in this state until white sprouts appear. In the garden, the seeds are laid out in grooves 2 cm deep, located after 20 cm, and rolled. At winter sowing seeds do not germinate. Grooves are cut in advance with a depth of 1-2 cm along or across the beds. Sow on frozen ground and fill the furrows with dry sand or humus. The norm of seeds during winter sowing is increased by a third.
Parsley is thinned out twice: when 1-2 and 5-6 true leaves are formed. At the first thinning, 3 cm are left in a row, then the distance is increased to 10 cm. Pulled plants are used for food. In the first half of summer, the soil is regularly loosened between the rows, especially after rain or watering. First loosen to a depth of 4-6 cm, then 10-15 cm. For the season parsley watered 3-4 times, pouring 2-2.5 buckets of water per 1 m2. During drought, additional watering is carried out. parsley roots need additional nutrition, respond especially well to mineral fertilizers. The first top dressing is given shortly after thinning, diluting 30-40 g of complex fertilizer in a bucket of water. After the second thinning, they are fed again, diluted with 10 g of ammonium nitrate and 50 g of potassium salt or ash in a bucket of water. At the third top dressing, dedicated to the pouring of root crops, ash is added, 1 glass / m2.
Of the pests, aphids can annoy the root. It is easy to deal with it by spraying the leaves with infusions or decoctions. volatile plants(celandine, dandelion, yarrow, etc.) Of the most dangerous fungal diseases, which appear both in the garden and during storage (alternaria, rhizoctoniosis and wet bacterial rot). To protect parsley from them, seeds are not collected from diseased plants, they are disinfected before sowing in hot water(48-50 degrees) for 20 minutes followed by immersion in cold water, acidic soil is lime, annually change the place of cultivation, clean plant remains. If the parsley is severely affected by diseases, the leaves are sprayed with 1% Bordeaux liquid.
Root crops are dug selectively starting from August, and in October, before the onset of severe frosts, all plants are harvested. The leaves by this time become rough, lose their juiciness, but the roots are gaining strength. The dug up roots are sorted. Non-standard and damaged are sent to the kitchen or dried. The leaves intended for storage are cut off, leaving 0.5-1 cm stumps. Then they are dried and placed in boxes, layered with sand. Store at a temperature of 0-2 degrees and humidity of 80-85%. Root crops intended for drying are cleaned and rubbed on a coarse grater. Then put in a colander, dipped in boiling water for 1-2 minutes and dried on a paper towel. Pour out onto a baking sheet, place in an oven heated to 75 degrees, and dry with the door slightly open. By the end of drying, the temperature is reduced to 55 degrees. Store in jars, putting in a dry dark place.
In order for the root crops to form large, parsley leaves are not cut until harvest.
In the summer, many people use fresh herbs in cooking. Dill and parsley are especially loved by all. It is interesting that not only green leaves, but also the root are tasty and healthy in parsley. At the same time, the root can be preserved and used in winter. The main thing is to know how to store properly.
In autumn, do not rush to remove parsley roots from the garden. It is better to leave this matter for the end, when all the other vegetables have already been removed. During this time, the root will have time to get stronger and prepare for storage - they will become even juicier and thicker. When harvesting parsley leaves, they need to be cut at a distance of 1-1.5 cm above the root level.
When you dig up the plants, they must be dried and placed in prepared boxes so that the parsley is not crowded. The roots must be covered with sand. It is best to lay the roots in layers. You need to store the vegetable at a low positive temperature (0 ... + 2 degrees). Should not be allowed high humidity otherwise the roots will start to rot. Temperature fluctuations can also be harmful. Be sure to periodically check the parsley for rotten specimens.
You can also store parsley in the ground. In this case, the upper greens are completely cut off, only small cuttings remain. From above, the bed is insulated with sand and hidden under the film. When snow falls, they need to additionally warm the vegetables, protect them from frost with a snow coat. With such storage, parsley retains its juiciness and benefits as much as possible.
Another option is to dry the dug up root. To do this, it is thoroughly washed, cut into thin circles or stripes, and then dried at 30-35 degrees, no more. Ready seasoning can be put in glass jars or in hermetically sealed boxes.
Many dry early varieties of root parsley at a temperature of 70 degrees. When the vegetable becomes 8 times smaller than its original size and looks more like paper, the seasoning is ready. Can be taken to banks. It should be noted that drying is the only storage option. early varieties, because they do not differ in keeping quality.
Root parsley is a constant inhabitant of vegetable gardens. This culture is cold-resistant and unpretentious. With little care, the summer resident provides himself with fragrant root crops for the winter.
Root spice improves the taste of soups, salads. From it prepare independent dishes. For gardeners, dressings for first courses based on root parsley are popular. It is impossible to imagine a kitchen without the use of this fragrant plant.
Root Spice Benefits - Long and varied storage. It can be frozen, salted, stored in the basement. The spicy root will retain its taste and consumer properties.
Gardeners who grow leaf parsley will also cope with root parsley. But it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of culture:
Seed producers offer enough planting material. Varieties of fragrant root crops are popular among gardeners:
When purchasing seeds, gardeners evaluate seed maturity, root yield, taste, and uses.
Parsley root is a cold-resistant plant. Planting in open ground is permissible as soon as the soil warms up to 4 degrees Celsius. This usually happens immediately after the soil thaws. It is important not to miss planting dates: parsley needs a lot of moisture to germinate. Seeds will not germinate in dry soil.
In the spring there is a lot of work in the garden. You can sow a cold-resistant crop before winter. Root spice seeds will germinate well after the onset of suitable weather.
For planting, you should choose the time 2-2.5 weeks before the onset of stable cold weather. Seeds need time to swell. But they should not have time to germinate. Sowing is carried out only with dry seeds. With this method of planting material, it is recommended to take 30% more.
To obtain the desired crop of roots, you need to correctly choose a place for the ridge:
It should be remembered: seat needs to be prepared in advance. When planting a root crop in spring-autumn, with winter sowing - a month before.
Sugar - the most popular variety of root spice among gardeners. She is loved for early ripening, productivity and special (sweet taste). When grown in open ground conditions must be met:
After germination, leave one strong plant. The rest needs to be weeded out.
Some gardeners use root parsley for forcing greens at home in the winter. In this case, it is necessary to observe:
When forcing greens from the roots, there is a possibility of a flower arrow.
Many gardeners are trying to grow parsley in a greenhouse or greenhouse. This requires free space. The advantage of Sugar - precocity. When sown in winter, the crop is harvested before the placement of the main greenhouse crops.
Usually Sugar is planted in an unheated greenhouse with an increase in radiation: at the end of January. In the event of a sudden cooling of the landing, it is recommended to cover it with dense lutrasil (60 g / square meter).
Parsley - unpretentious plant. But provide easy care the gardener will have to get the root spice.
The fragrant root tolerates a short drought. But taste qualities root crops deteriorate. Moisturize the ridge after the top layer has dried.
Before planting seeds of root spice, a complex of mineral fertilizers is introduced into the soil. After the emergence of seedlings, it is recommended to feed them once with nitrogen fertilizer. To do this, prepare an infusion of fermented grass:
After the growth of tops by 10-15 cm, mineral fertilizers should be applied. It is more convenient to use soluble. Further feeding does not make sense: parsley will look for nutrients in upper layers soil. It does not form beautiful even roots.
Parsley is susceptible to some diseases:
Diseases arise due to violations of the rules of care. Subject to agricultural technology, gardeners get a harvest of healthy tasty roots.
The greatest harm to plantings is caused by carrot psyllid. She lays her eggs at the base of the root. The hatched larvae damage the plant.
The second pest is aphids. Ants are planting it. For the fight, anthills should be destroyed (in April) and the aphids should be washed off with a solution of green or tar soap.
From a carrot fly, plantings are sprayed with water with the addition of kerosene (a tablespoon per 1 liter). But with this method, the roots have bad smell and taste. Experienced gardeners get rid of the pest by planting onions and garlic next to the parsley.
The time for digging up the roots of parsley comes in early autumn. They are carefully pry with a pitchfork. This tool least of all injures root crops.
The excavated plants are shaken off the ground and dried in the sun for 2 hours. This procedure destroys harmful bacteria.
Then the tops are cut off. If winter forcing of greens from the root part is planned, a stump of 1-2 cm is left. When laying for storage, the growth point is cut off along with part of the root crop. This will keep the parsley juicy.
In the refrigerator, the roots are stored in a perforated plastic bag. Some gardeners cover the root crop with wet sand and lower it into the cellar.
Harvest parsley retains flavor and useful material when frozen. The roots should be washed, cut and put into a container or bag. AT freezer the taste of the root spice will be excellent: the roots are ready for use within a year.
People appreciated the unusual aroma and taste of parsley many centuries ago, and since then it has been widely used in various national cuisines. Its leaves and roots are used as a spicy seasoning for sauces and soups, for preparing salads and side dishes, as well as in canning.

Parsley is a biennial plant. Not afraid of the cold and unpretentious. In the first year after sowing, it forms a rosette of fragrant leaves, and left in the ground in the second year, it blooms and produces small seeds. You can grow parsley both on greens and on the root. The root varieties of parsley form a cone-shaped or spindle-shaped yellow-white root crop. Parsley root greens are usually not used for cutting, so that the plant has enough strength to form a good-sized root crop.
Leaf parsley comes in smooth-leaved and curly varieties. Its leaves are so decorative that often leaf parsley planted not in beds, but in flower beds in compositions with other aromatic and medicinal herbs.
Parsley always has a place in the garden. The plant is unpretentious and almost undemanding to the soil. However, in well-lit places with loose, fertile soil parsley is able to give a particularly good harvest.
Best predecessors for parsley- zucchini, cucumbers, potatoes and cabbage. It should not be planted after other celeriacs - carrots, celery, cilantro, cumin, etc., but it can be perfectly grown at the same time as them. Parsley grows well in mixed landings with radishes, peppers, peas, tomatoes and cucumbers. On the site where parsley grew, it can be sown again only after four years.
The place for future landing parsley is prepared in the fall, deeply digging the soil and making compost. In the spring, the earth is loosened and fertilized with complex mineral fertilizers.
Parsley seeds are sown from mid-April directly into the ground. Dry seeds germinate hard, therefore, before sowing, they must be soaked in water for half an hour, and then dried to flowability. For sowing in the beds, grooves are made 1–1.5 cm deep, spilled with water. After the moisture is absorbed, seeds are sown in the grooves and covered with earth. The earth is leveled and lightly compacted.
Usually the seeds germinate in 15-20 days. To speed up the germination of seeds, the bed can be covered with a film. As soon as shoots appear, the film is immediately removed, as young shoots need good lighting. Parsley seedlings are not afraid of frosts down to -9 degrees.
Leaf varieties of parsley can be sown during the summer until the end of July.
Before winter, parsley is sown with dry seeds (without soaking) on ridges to a depth of about 1 cm. The bed is mulched with humus or peat.
Leaf parsley is fed 1–2 times a season with nitrogen fertilizer (50–60 g of saltpeter for every 10 sq. M). Parsley root is fed at the beginning of the growing season complex fertilizer, and in August they give phosphorus-potassium fertilizers at the rate of 70 g of superphosphate and 50 g of potassium salt per 10 square meters. m. nitrogen fertilizers no longer used in order to prevent the consumption of root crops.
Leaf parsley is harvested as needed throughout the growing season until the end of August. Root crops are harvested before the onset of a stable cold snap.
