1. Choose a Planting Location:
Parsnips need full sun 🌞 and well-drained, deep soil to grow their long roots.
2. Prepare the Soil:
Ensure the soil is loose and rich in organic matter 🌾. Parsnips prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0).
3. Planting Instructions:
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 2-3 inches apart 🌍. Thin to 4-6 inches apart once seedlings emerge.
4. Watering Requirements:
Parsnips need regular moisture 💧 to develop their long, tender roots. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season.
5. Germination Time:
Parsnip seeds typically take 14-21 days to germinate ⏳.
6. Ongoing Care:
Remove weeds regularly to avoid competition for nutrients. Harvest in the fall when roots are firm and well-developed 🥕.
