At a Glance
- Variety:Parsnip
Short rooted, broad shouldered variety.
Great for shallow soils.
High yielder and the roots are delicious roasted.
Sowing Time
February – April
Sowing Outdoors
Sow seeds fairly thickly in pre-watered shallow rows, covering with a little soil. Allow about 40cm (16in) between rows. Delay early sowings if soil is very wet or cold, later sowings will make up any lost time.
Thinning
As seedlings develop, thin them gradualy, eventually to about 15cm (6in) apart. Keep soil moist until seedlings are established.
Harvest
September – February. Roots can be left in the ground until required. We believe their flavour improves after autumn frosts.
