There should be no problems with such a seemingly simple crop as dill and parsley.
Some gardeners sow greens abundantly, but the sprouts are poor, while others do not plant parsley and dill, and their greens grow lushly by self-seeding throughout the garden.
If this situation is observed in your area, it is important to understand the reasons for the lack of sprouts and eliminate them.
Typically, greens begin to sprout within 15-20 days when sowing dry seeds. If the seeds are pre-germinated, the waiting time is reduced to 10-15 days.
If the dill and parsley seeds have not sprouted within the specified time, it may be due to the high content of essential oils that hinder germination.
To increase seed germination, it is recommended to rinse them in warm water (40-50 degrees) before sowing.
The crops need to be watered regularly. One watering a week is not enough. If it is not possible to water the greens frequently, it is advisable to cover the seeds with compost or another material that will help retain moisture during planting.
You can also sow parsley or dill for seedlings and then transplant them into the soil when the plants have 4-5 true leaves, in combined plantings in any bed with vegetables.
