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!)

well i was thinking i could do half the packet now and see what happens , nothing ventured nothing gained if i plant them early in the year they will be ready in the hot time ,
