Parsnip – Tender and True – 500 Seeds – 13883

Description

Good for the table as well as the exhibition bench. Exceptional flavour, reliable cropper. A deeply-dug soil, with stones removed, will help this variety attain its full size and exhibition quality roots.

Sow and Grow:

Outdoors: sow thinly February-May, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½”) deep, directly into finely-prepared, light, fertile soil, which has already been watered.

Allow 40cm (16″) between rows.

Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection.

Seedlings usually appear in 14-32 days. Thin plants to 20cm (8″) apart.

Replace any dislodged soil.

Water well until plants are established.

Leave roots in the ground until required, as they improve after exposure to autumn frosts.

Harvest: October-February.
