I am trying to germinate parsnip seeds, nothing so far but havent given up by a long way... I will buy plants if I have to as like Colser I want a home grown Xmas lunch this year - apart from the goose, but maybe even that too in a few years time !odd notes about our kitchen garden project:

For the last 10 years, my parsnips have taken between 6 weeks and 4 months to germinate in a raised bed. This year I sowed 2 x fifteen foot rows in a raised bed 3 weeks ago and have 80% germination. I've done nothing different to what I did in previous years, but there they are.http://norm-foodforthought.blogspot.com/
If it ain't broke, don't fix it and if you ain't going to eat it, don't kill itComment

I have three rows of parsnips in loo rolls but the direct sown has not put in an appearance yet. Couldn't do any more in loo rolls as I ran out of them.

I pre germinated mine on a damp bit of kitchen that was put on a plate. Then the whole lot was wrappen in cling wrap. Seemed to speed everything up

The "will they, wont they?" of parsnip germination is on again! I was getting desperate, but after (only, but it felt like months) 3 weeks the parsnips sown in the raised beds have appeared and now tiny, tiny tendrils are beginning to appear on the ones on damp paper in the airing cupboard!

The best thing is that I'm growing parsnips and I don't even like them
