Naturals for parsley include potato salad, tabouli, egg salad sandwichesPlanting Chives Chives are hardy and will grow practically anywhere in the united states. They do well in cool weather but can survive almost any extreme temperature swings. Plant either seeds or divisions about 4-6 weeks before your average last frost date. A late frost won't hurt them.You can grow chives from seed or divisions of small bulbs separated from clumps. The seeds take a long time to germinate and need a very cool temperature, less than 60F. After their slow start they grow quickly. Plant seeds 1/2" deep in rows spaced 12" apart. The plants can be fairly close together; small clumps (25 plants can be set out 6-8 inches apart in rows. They'll fill in and make an attractive array. Planting parsley If starting seeds indoors, use biodegradable pots because parsley doesn’t like to be transplanted. Seed germination is also slow, and seeds older than the last growing season may not germinate well. For best results,Stratify seeds at 30–35°F for a few days and then soak in water for 6–8 hours before planting. Seed Depth: 1/4″ Space Between Plants: 8–12″ Space Between Rows: 12–18″ Germination Soil Temperature: Minimum 50°F, optimal 70–80°F. Days for Germination: 14–21 Sow Indoors: 6 to 8 weeks before average last frost. Sow Outdoors: Start seeds in late fall for sprouts the following spring. Or plant 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or as soon as the soil can be worked. Planting Genovese Basil Direct seed (recommended): Plant seeds 1/4" deep, 2-3 seeds per inch, in rows 18" apart. Firm the soil over the seeds. Thinning is not necessary, but a final spacing of 4-8" apart produces healthy, full plants. Holy Basil requires some light for germination, so sow more shallowly than other basils. Transplant: Sow indoors 6 weeks prior to setting out. Plant 1/4" deep and keep at 70°F (21°C) for best germination. Transplant to the field when seedlings have 3-4 sets of leaves, spacing at 4-8" apart in rows 18" apart. Planting CilantroPlant cilantro in the spring after the last frost date or in the fall. In the Southwest, a fall planting may last through spring when the weather heats up again.Do not grow in summer heat as the plants will bolt (so it is past harvesting). The leaves that grow on bolted plants tend to be bitter in flavor.It is best to chose a sunny site that will allow cilantro to self-seed as it is ought to do. Plant in an herb garden or the corner of a vegetable garden. When the weather gets warm, the plant will quickly finish its life cycle and send up a long stalk which will produce blossoms and later seeds. Little plants will sprout during the season and the next spring.Plant the seeds in light, well-drained soil and space them 1 to 2 inches apart. Sow the seeds at 3-week intervals for continued harvest space rows about 12 inches apart.It is important to keep the seeds moist during their germination, so remember to water the plants regularly.The Safe Seed Pledge All seed is selected and grown in the USAAgriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, We pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately people and communities.
