Congrats on the parsnips, we took over a plot for 1st time in Feb, there was some 'wild' parsnip growing amongst all the weeds.

Thought about using them but when I dug them up they looked as if they had gone over, but they smelt fantastic so hoping to grow my own this year, what are you suggestions for a bumper crop?

hi there, i tried putting them in little inch deep water logged trenche , then the toilet roll filled with wet compost and i then decided to try flower pots with wet compost and that method has worked a treat , one good thing about that is that u know where they are so u wont dig them up thinking they are weeds , once they are big enough then i will tip them gentle over an re place the compost and seedlings back into the same hole .

but it helps if u do have fresh seeds i never really bele :Dived that until i tried it

Last year I found myself staring at a spare packet of seeds that I couldn't identify so, being me, I filled a big plastic crate (lined with plastic) with compost and spaced out a few seeds and promptly forgot about them. I had the loveliest crop of parsnips you could imagine......... I've done the same this year and, at the moment, MOST have come through.

I love all this!
