Here are some frequently asked questions from customers looking to buy Parsnip Seeds in the UK. For more information, feel free to contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs.
Parsnip seeds should be sown directly outdoors from March to April, as they require a long growing season. Sow once the soil is workable and the risk of frost has passed. Parsnips prefer cooler temperatures, so avoid sowing in warmer months for best results.
Sow seeds 1-2 cm deep in well-prepared, fertile, and well-drained soil. Space them about 5-7 cm apart in rows 30 cm apart. Parsnips thrive in deep soil, so avoid compacted or stony ground. Keep the soil moist and thin the seedlings once they are large enough, ensuring they are spaced 20-25 cm apart to allow for full root development.
Parsnips take a longer time to germinate than many other vegetables, usually 14-21 days. They grow slowly and can take 4-6 months to reach full maturity. Parsnips are usually ready to harvest in late autumn to early winter, after the first frosts, which help sweeten their flavour.
Parsnips are a hardy, winter-harvest vegetable that provides a delicious, sweet, and nutty flavour in soups, roasts, and stews. They are easy to grow in deep, fertile soil and require minimal maintenance once established. Parsnips are also rich in vitamins and fibre, making them a healthy and versatile crop for your garden.
Parsnips grow best in deep, loose soil without stones or compacted areas, making them ideal for raised beds or garden plots with good drainage. They prefer a sunny position but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure consistent moisture to help the roots grow long and straight.
