When to Sow Countess F1 Parsnip Seeds

March to May

Where to Sow

Sow thinly direct into the growing site 2cm (¾") deep in rows 45cm (18in) apart. Try to choose a stone free tilth growing site. Parsnips can take up to 8 weeks to germinate depending on soil temperatures. You are better to delay sowings if soils are wet and cold.

What to do Next

Do not transplant seedlings. As soon as seedlings appear , they should be gradually thinned until plants are 10cm (4in) apart. Hoe regularly, taking care not to damage the crown of the root.

Maturity

September to February

Handy Tip

If growing for exhibition, wanting long straight roots, bore deep holes with a long bar and fill with a sandy compost mix and sow 2-3 seeds per station, then thin to the strongest seedling.

Nutritional Values

A good source of energy boosting carbohydrates and high in vitamin C and potassium.
