Soaking Parsley seed

[Dahlia]

Im pretty sure im not the only one that have done this. But any recommendations on how to keep parsely seed 110°F for 24 hrs.
I have them on heat matt but 90° is the best I can do with that.
Thank you for any feedback.

I read online that you can use a seedling heat mat placed underneath your seed trays
It sounds like you are already using this method.

I have to giggle. Not at you tho.

Mother who is now 94 and still kickin', was always told to eat her parsley. It was used everywhere as a garnish. They said that its good for your gall bladder. Well, Mother had a gall bladder attack in 1966, and had to have emergency surgery. Parsley did not do good for Mother's gall bladder!! We will still laugh about that when I mention it to her.

No Mention of Gall Bladders in that "Healthline" article!

I have grown parsley from store-bought seed several times.

I don't recall ever having a problem with germination.

I love using parsley mostly for decorating my meals! I like to place a few sprigs on my clam chowder and others soups. It's a key ingredient in my shrimp scampi and multiple recipes.

Good chance they want you to just pour hot water over the seeds, and then let them sit in the water for several hours after it cools. (110F for a long period could well kill them). Parsley volunteers generously around here, germinating well in our cool, moist climate.

Haven't grown parsley before.
Can you or do you eat the stems as well?

Probably the best use for the stems is soups, they're a bit fibrous when mature but if young they're okay. They certainly have flavor, but most of the health benefits I'd assume are in the dark green leaves. Wonderful herb parsley. I know basil tends to steal the show with the herbs but, IMHO, parsley is the best. Can be added to so many dishes and the flavor doesn't overwhelm it. In your climate @hdan you can probably leave a plant outdoors year round and harvest from it, and it will make seed for you too in the second year.

You can eat the stems, but the leaves taste better.
