Parsnip

Parsnip
We think there is nothing quite like roasted parsnips during the winter. We lift ours as we need them but take care if there is going to be a freeze and lift them before the ground becomes too hard! They like soil that is well dug and warmed from cloches; alternatively you can start them in deep pots and plant out at the two leaf stage.

Parsnip Guernsey

Alan Titchmarsh, writing in December, recommends this as one of the very best roasting varieties and we do not disagree in any way: a terrific flavour! This is a heritage variety from the 1800’s and, even though the name suggests otherwise, it is French in origin. This ‘half long’ variety with shorter stumpy roots and broad shoulders that can be harvested at anytime once large enough. 60 seeds.
