Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

Pre-soak: Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to speed up germination.

Sowing

Timing: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked.
Depth: Sow seeds 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) deep.
Spacing: Space seeds 3-4 inches (7.6-10 cm) apart in rows 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart.

Germination

Temperature: Optimal soil temperature for germination is 50-75°F (10-24°C).
Time: Seeds typically germinate in 2-3 weeks.
Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting

Thinning: Once seedlings are 2-3 inches (5-7.6 cm) tall, thin them to 6 inches (15 cm) apart.
Avoid disturbance: Parsnips have long taproots, so it is best to avoid transplanting.

Care and Maintenance

Watering: Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods.
Weeding: Keep the area free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients.
Harvesting: Harvest parsnips in late fall after a few frosts for the best flavor. Dig carefully to avoid damaging the roots.

Gardening is the art that uses vegetable and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas.
