How
Sow direct where they are to grow. Cover with Yates Seed Raising Mix. Firm down well and keep moist. Avoid overcrowding by thinning out and discarding excess seedlings when 4-5 weeks old.
Care
Cultivate soil well before sowing as deep, well-drained soils give best results. Add Yates Blood & Bone to soil before sowing to help ensure a good crop. Begin pulling roots early to extend the harvest. Protect from snails and slugs with Yates Blitzem.
Hint
Parsnips are a great companion plant for beans, onions, leeks, spring onions, corn, cucumber, radish & tomatoes. To aid germination, maintain even moisture by laying a plank of wood over row. Remove after germination.
