Parsley can sometimes be a tricky to start from seed although it is such a tough herb to grow once it is a bit bigger.

Several things can go wrong with it and I have a few tips for you here to make this a breeze:

Tip 1: Be patient! Parsley seeds an take a while to germinate. There is a German saying that goes something like this: 'Parsley goes down to the devil three times before it comes up!'. So give the seeds at least 2-3 weeks before you give up on them.

Tip 2: Cover the seeds to prevent them from drying out. This is especially important if you start the seeds outside during the summer. You can use thin layer of potting soil that is kept moist all the time or something like a jute sack. Keep the fabric damp and check from time to time if you see the seedlings starting to germinate. Remove the sack once you see them emerging and keep the seedlings moist.
