How to Sow
- Sow seeds direct to soil beds outdoors from late March onwards
- Sow seeds individually to loose soil about 6 to 8 inches apart, then cover lightly with soil, pat down, and water
- Water the seed area if the soil is very dry
- Seeds should germinate in 2
- 4 weeks
Plant Care
- Water parsnips weekly for the first 4
- 6 weeks
- Only water again during very dry spells (Parsnips can rot if the soil is too wet)
- When harvesting, push down on the parsnips before pulling up for use
AllotMe’s Tips
- Try germinating your seeds by placing them in a small plastic bag of compost and storing in a dark, but warm place (eg: a boiler cupboard)
- The flavour of parsnips can be greatly improved if harvested after the first frost when the starch is converted into sugars to provide a sweeter taste
