QUICK FACTS

  • Matures in 120 days

  • Sow from March-July

  • White roots can reach 45 cm long

  • Open-pollinated seeds

  • Smooth skin with white flesh

Plant seeds 5mm-1 cm deep in loose rich compost and cover with row cover or low tunnel to increase germination time. Soil should be 10-25 C and be kept moist during the germinations period of 14-21 days. The ground should be prepared similar to carrots, the looser the soil the better the parsnips will grow.  Generally, only 60% of parsnip seeds will germinate so plant seeds 2 cm apart and thin to 12-20 cm apart.

Harvest after frost for best flavour. We cover ours with 20 cm of straw and then cover with a low tunnel. By lifting the tunnel and the mulch we harvest our parsnips all winter as needed.

We grow in a high raised beds, 60-80 cm, for easy harvesting.
