Sowing Instructions:

1. When to Sow: Sow seeds directly outdoors from March to May when the soil has warmed.
2. Soil Preparation: Choose well-drained soil in a sunny position. Avoid freshly manured soil as it can cause root forking.
3. Sowing Depth: Sow seeds 1 cm deep, spacing them 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) apart in rows.
4. Germination: Seeds germinate within 14-21 days; be patient, as parsnips can take time to emerge.

Growing Instructions:

1. Thinning: Once seedlings are 5 cm (2 inches) tall, thin to one plant every 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) to allow space for root development.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods, to promote strong root growth.
3. Soil Care: Weed regularly to reduce competition and ensure roots develop properly. Avoid disturbing the soil too deeply near roots.
4. Fertilising: Fertilise sparingly with a balanced fertiliser or add compost before planting; avoid high nitrogen as it can lead to leafy growth.
5. Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as carrot flies; cover with horticultural fleece if needed.
6. Harvesting: Parsnips are generally ready to harvest from October onwards, after approximately 150-180 days. They sweeten with the first frost, enhancing flavour. Use a fork to gently lift roots without breaking.
