Prepare a deep, loose seedbed free of rocks and clods to allow straight root development. Plant seeds about 1\/2 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which can take 2-3 weeks. Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart to give roots room to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParsnips require regular watering, especially during dry spells, to prevent roots from becoming woody. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Roots are typically ready to harvest in late fall after a few frosts, which enhances their sweetness. In milder climates, they can be left in the ground through winter and harvested as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Parsnip All American Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67862011609398,"sku":"FSG-225","price":11.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7592423668_dnvy.jpg?v=1793267868","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-parsnip-all-american-seeds-heirloom-root-vegetable-sweet-flavor-after-frost","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
