At a Glance
- Variety:Parsnip
High yielder.
Smooth white skin.
Large 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. As seedlings develop, thin them gradually, eventually to about 15cm (6in) apart. Keep soil moist until seedings are established.
Harvest
September – February. Roots can be left in the ground until required. We believe their flavour improves after autumn frosts.
