Growing & Sowing Tips
📅 SowingSow directly into the soil in early spring (February-March) or autumn (September-October); germination is slow (3-4 weeks).
🌱 Depth1-2 cm
📏 Spacing15-20 cm
🌞 SunFull sun
💧 WateringRegular but measured watering; the deep-rooted plant is drought-tolerant
🧺 HarvestIn autumn at the end of the first year; the roots are harvested once they fill out (usually October-November). Those harvested after the first frost are sweeter because the cold turns starch into sugar; the roots can also be overwintered in the ground and harvested gradually.
🪴 SoilDeep, loose, stone-free sandy loam; prefers neutral/slightly alkaline pH (about 6.6-7.2), avoid very acidic soils.
⭐ DifficultyModerate
🗓️ SeasonSpring/Autumn
📅 Calendar is for the Northern Hemisphere; in the Southern Hemisphere shift sowing times by ~6 months.
💡 Key tip: Since germination is very slow, using fresh seed is essential. Chilling the seeds in the fridge for 2-3 weeks before sowing (cold stratification) can speed up germination.
🤝 Companion logic: It gets along well with chives, onion, garlic and sweetcorn; radish is a good row-marker for slow-germinating parsnip. Keep it away from carrot and celery (both are hosts of the carrot fly). Marigold and yarrow draw beneficial insects.
