Parsnips in Richy's Paper pots.
« on: April 03, 2008, 20:14 »
Well.. Iv'e sown a couple of dozen parsnips in Richy's Paper pots, and they have at last germinated.  :)  However, I planted 3 seeds per pot, and 2 or more are coming up together.
Q1) Do I pinch out the weakest one straight away?
Q2) Would you cut away the bottom of the pot before the tap root develops?

Sorry for the daft questions, but this is new to me! :?

I have no idea about the parsnips, but I really like your signature quote!!!
Good beer, good BBQ and good friends.

Yes I'd remove the weakest more or less straight away, I've never grown snips in them before, I'm still waiting for mine to germinate  :roll:  but I'll be removing the bottom on planting which will be as soon as the sedling looks strong enough.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

T.Y. That's what I thought. but I may remove the bottom of a couple a bit earlier, just to see what happens, if anything. :? I'll keep you posted. BTW  I sowed mine 15/03, but have been popping them on top of the boiler for a while, just to give em a boost :wink:
