Description
Parsnip White Gem is very popular with home gardeners. With shorter roots than some other varieties, broad shoulders and fine, white smooth skin, it has considerable resistance to canker and is highly recommended for use on all soils.
Parsnips are not fussy about what soil types they grow in. For all plants that have deep-growing roots as the parsnip and if you wish to grow the long, ‘perfect’ looking parsnip, you will need deep soil, that has recently been manured and is stone free. If parsnips hit a stone while growing they tend to fork.
You may also consider planting radish seed along with the parsnips, they will mark the row and keep the crust from hardening, making life a little easier for the parsnip pushing through. As the radishes become of edible size, use them and weed and thin the parsnip seedlings to stand 15cm apart.
