Parsnips do seem to be the one thing that's recommended for fresh seed every year, but there's nothing to lose from tryingOriginally posted by mothhawk View PostIs old parsnip seed worth a try? Sow by 2022. I thought I'd chitted one, but it is actually a vagrant kohl rabi on the kitchen roll.

I always forget to confess my seed buying here!
This year I thought I'd try some micro dwarf tomatoes so I got blau zimmer and inkspot from Red Dragon Seeds. Ponchi fa red from Premier Seeds Direct and Veranda a dwarf bush from T&M.
Oh and a dwarf cucumber from Premier Seeds too
I do love a trend!
I forgot the tagetes starfire and nimrod cucumbers also fromT&M.Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
Always aim for the best result possible not the best possible result

Thanks Peanut,I hope it is alright,just out of interest I’m doing an experiment with it to compare growth on two tomato seedlings,one grown in the normal jacks magic & one in the rocket grow peat free,they might need different watering routine but I hope for similar growth on both plants,hopefully one won’t go yellow etc
