« on: August 10, 2009, 12:33 »
i have got a pack of tender and true seeds but being in a different climate dont know when to start them off , any ideas please was hoping for one with my Christmas dinner x but think that may be a bit unrealisticc , now we are hurtling towards winter would it be a good time to start .

hi chrissie, I think it may be too late now for parsnips, ours went in way back in March/April.   Does it give you ANY information on the seed packet?  I don't think they keep very well so maybe sow some and see what happens....... nothing to lose and let us know how you get on  :)

I don't know if it's true but I heard it's very hard to grow them in Greece, as they need a period of cold (and/or frost). So all I can suggest is that you start them about 8 months before your coldest time of the year (which in Greece will still be December if I'm right!)
