  • Sods law - parsnips!

    I was persuaded that it was not too late to sow parsnips so decided to have a go. Having read how notoriously fickle the germination was I decided to go with the pre germination method. 12 seeds in a tub with damp kitchen paper, into the airing cupboard. Two weeks later 8 have germinated I also sowed some outside, another 12, and bu**er me, those have all come up! So I now have some lovely little sprouted seeds to plant out, do I put them straight into the ground or bring them on a little in a rootrainer?

    ETA: it was 2 weeks not 1 - checked in journal!

    If your compost is fine enough, put them straight out.

            So it is not too late to sow parsnips? I put mine out ages ago and all i got was lots of weeds. Is it ok to start again now?

              There was another thread here somewhere (can't find it now) saying it not too late. Try pre germinating to hopefully ensure better results.
