Tender
True Parsnip
|
|
General Description:
This is an excellent variety with long roots, with a fine flavour.
They are smooth skinned and with a good resistance to canker
|
Sowing Instructions:
For long parsnips you need a deeply dug soil which has been manured for a previous crop. However, they will
also do well on ordinary well drained and cultivated soil. Sow April to June, 1cm (½ inch) deep in drills 30cm (12 inches) apart. Sow
in clusters of 4 seeds every 20cm (8 inches) and thin out to the strongest seedlings after germination. Germination is very slow.
Growing Instructions:
Harvest the roots from autumn onwards, leaving them in the ground until required.
