Parsnip is a biennial plant grown for its thick, edible root. It produces long, creamy-white roots with a sweet flavor and a characteristic aroma reminiscent of a blend between carrot and celery. It adapts well to temperate climates and tolerates light frosts, making it suitable for autumn and winter gardens.

Traditionally, its roots are cooked, roasted, or mashed, and young leaves can be used in salads or to flavor broths. Its cultivation enhances garden diversity and roots can be stored for several months in cool, dry conditions.

How to sow Parsnip seeds

Sow seeds directly in the ground at 1-2 cm deep, in loose, deep, well-drained soil to allow the roots to grow straight and long. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germinates best between 10-20 °C, emerging in 10-20 days. When seedlings have several true leaves, thin to 15-25 cm between plants. Prefers full sun or light shade.
