  • Parsnips - am I too late?

    Pretty much as it says in the title? Am I too late to try and pop some more n the ground? The first couple of lots have not done well due to cats digging in my bed (yes, realise now I should have netted!!) and disturbing them just wondering if I'm not too late to sling in another couple of rows? Have masses of seed left!
    If it ain't broke...fix it til it is!

      Took me 3 attempts last year and my last sowing was at the end of May when the soil was warm and germination happened.

        Not too late and the seed doesn't keep well anyway
        don't be afraid to innovate and try new things

          I'll be sowing some Parsnip sheets over the next few months. Then again, I'm in no rush for them.

            Same here.
            I find covering them in fleece helps bring them on, but also helps keep the soil moist around them which helps them germinate faster.
            No hurry for me either.

              I sowed my parsnips a couple of days ago, never grown them before so fingers crossed

                      Got a few sown in newspaper pots (15) well thats what her indoors can ONLY have being as I hate the taste of the things and they are only just popping their heads out.

                      Might sow some more if I have the room else she who must be obeyed will have to savour them when they are ready.

                        Thanks all, I will panic less now and sow couple more rows for good measure! Have now bought a fancy micromesh windbreak thingy which will hopefully keep the cats off at least until everything is big enough!

                          Mine have only just popped up; I can't see it being a big difference to sow now. Think I may sow another patch in the next few days actually, I like 'snips, and never seem to end up with enough.

                            I have sown some but they've not shown yet so I'll be putting a few more seeds in this weekend in the hope of actually getting some parsnips this year
