<p>12 inches long with a 2 inch crown, Parsnip Hollow Crown is well tapered white long and smooth. Easy to grow, like carrots. Mix some radish seeds with the parsnips. Radish is fast growing and will shield the young parsnip seedlings from drying out. Heavy yielder.</p><p>This root vegetable takes 4 months to mature. Frost enhances its sweet delicate nut-like flavour. Does best in rich loamy soil which has been well cultivated; pH 6.5-7.0. Soil preparation should be done the same as it would be for carrots: dig deeply and use light soil. Soak seed in lukewarm water for 24 hrs to shorten the three week germination time. Keep soil moist during germination.</p>
