Default PARSNIPS QUESTION



"Therefore" wrote
can you help , when transplanting Parsnip seedlings would it be beter to
trim the roots or just dib them in


Transplanting parsnips? Not usual to plant them other than in situ, where
they are to grow, as any root disturbance can cause the root to split and
IME they simply don't like it.

If you prune the roots you won't get parsnips unless it's the tops you are
after.
