        Parsnip

We think there is nothing quite like roasted parsnips during the winter. We lift ours as we need them but take care if there is going to be a freeze and lift them before the ground becomes too hard! They like soil that is well dug and warmed from cloches; alternatively you can start them in deep pots and plant out at the two leaf stage. All our varieties are canker resistant.

Parsnip Albion F1 This is one of the best new parsnip introductions, British bred so it copes with our weather. It is also bred to be resistant to canker making it very suitable to grow organically. It has an excellent sweet flavour. Price for 60 seeds	Parsnip Countess F1 This AGM winning variety produces lovely smooth large roots that have creamy flesh and a delicious sweet flavour. Canker resistant and shallow crowned this can be lifted from October through to April. Price for 60 seeds 0.50
