Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for parsnip seeds. Ensure seeds are fresh and not damaged.

Sowing:

Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in late summer for a fall harvest.
Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 14-21 days, depending on soil temperature and conditions.
Maintain soil moisture during the germination period to ensure even sprouting.

Transplanting:

Parsnips do not transplant well due to their long taproot. It is best to sow seeds directly where they will grow.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogging, as it can cause roots to rot.
Thinning: Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to 4-6 inches apart to allow for proper root development.
Weeding: Keep the garden bed free from weeds that can compete with parsnip plants for nutrients and water.
Harvesting: Harvest parsnips when they reach 12-18 inches in length and about 1-2 inches in diameter. They can be left in the ground until needed, as frost can improve their flavor.

Happy Gardening!
