'fraid so, Finney - parsnips take ages!
Although you can eat the thinnings, I would guess on them being in the ground for about 6 months before you get your dinner from them.
I sowed mine at the end of Feb, and although they are looking good, I won't dig any until the frost has had a go at them - it is supposed to sweeten them. -
your spot on again HTH
mine have been in for months i think it said 36 weeks seed to harvest on my packetthis will be a battle from the heart

We are going to have a grand total of nothing home grown at Christmas dinner this year. The rain, wind and bugs have destroyed everything I sowed or planted. The only things left are celeriac and a few straggly beans.
Happy Gardening,
Shirley

You're ahead of me - my celeriac didn't get above 1/2" spindly seedlings.Originally posted by shirlthegirl43 View PostComment

Would it depend on temperature, or is daylight the major factor? I was thinking about sowing some indoors, as I've eaten most of mine! They were very tasty, too!Comment
