wow i never considered soaking the seed. it takes 12, 15 days sometimes longer for germination. parsley is very hard to sprout. i keep the promix very damp and cover the container with plastic wrap.

carrots are in the same family so when i direct seed carrots i cover the plot with damp burlap and wet it 2 or 3 times a day depending upon temperature and sunshine. this gets them to germinate fast.

i'll try soaking seed next time i start parsley which probably won't be until next year.
