PARSLEY
Sow Seed Now
In the rush of bedding operations the sowing of winter parsley is apt to be overlooked; this sowing can be made now. Well-prepared soil should be chosen; if the ground is heavy plenty of mortar rubble may be worked in it. Light soil will be improved by giving it a good treading before sowing. The seeds can be put in in drills 12in. apart, or broadcast. Remember, however, that parsley dislikes being cramped, so when the seedlings are up, thin them out to Gin. apart if they are in drills, or 9in. apart each way if the seeds were sown broadcast. If dry weather follows the sowing it is important to water the soil, keeping it moist till the seeds germinate.
