When to plant parsnip in Rookwood
We don't have planting times for parsnip in Rookwood yet.
Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Rookwood. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A slow, sweet root crop sown in autumn or late winter and harvested 4 to 5 months later; frost sweetens the roots. Always use fresh seed, as it loses viability within a year. Sow directly into deep, loose, stone-free soil and keep it moist until seedlings appear.
