Parsnip experiment update....

Of all three experiments mentioned earlier I have not had 1 seed germinate!!!! I'm putting this down to the fact that the seeds were best before 01/2010, but on the plus side my son got given a packet of new seeds by his grandparents so I'm planning to nick some of his and plant them straight into the ground!

  1. I wouldn't give up on them just yet. Parsnips seem to come up when they are good and ready and not before. Could take a month in my experience.

  2. Parsnip seed isn't very reliable so new seed should be used each year, however, even then they can still easily take over a week to germinate as they are notoriously slow.
