Sowing Guidelines
Indoor Sowing:
Not recommended for parsnips, as they grow best when directly sown outdoors.
Outdoor Sowing:
Direct sow seeds early in spring, after the last frost, when the soil temperature is above 50°F (10°C).
Sow seeds ½ inch deep, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart in rows.
Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart once they are large enough to handle.
Germination
Parsnip seeds typically take 14-21 days to germinate.
Keep the soil consistently moist, but not overly wet, during the germination period.
Spacing & Growing Conditions
Within Rows: Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart to allow enough space for the roots to grow.
Between Rows: Space rows about 12-18 inches apart to ensure proper root development.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the plants to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
Care & Maintenance
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Parsnips require about 1 inch of water per week.
Fertilization: Parsnips benefit from rich, fertile soil. Consider applying compost or organic fertilizer before planting and using a balanced fertilizer during the growing season if necessary.
Weed Control: Mulch or hand-pull weeds to prevent competition for nutrients.
Pest & Disease Control: Watch for pests like aphids, carrot flies, and root maggots. Use row covers or organic pest control methods as needed.
Harvesting
Parsnip Roots: Ready to harvest 100-120 days after sowing when roots are 12-14 inches long.
For the best flavor, allow the roots to stay in the ground after the first frost. Cold temperatures enhance the sweetness of parsnips.
Carefully lift the roots using a garden fork or spade to avoid damaging them.
Storage
Store harvested parsnips in a cool, dark, and dry location for several months.
Parsnips can also be left in the ground during the winter, provided they are properly mulched to protect them from extreme cold.
