PARSNIP (Pastinaca sativa) Needs very deep, rich loose soil for best results, but will tolerate average garden soil. In cold-winter climates sow in earliest spring, a half-inch deep. Space plants several inches apart in all directions. Dig in the fall, after a few frosts have sweetened the roots. In mild-winter climates, sow in fall for early spring harvest. 600 seeds per packet.
Half Long Guernsey     New!
The Guernsey variety was the most popular parsnip of the 19th century. Introduced prior to the 1850’s, this variety is medium-long, and has thick shoulders and smooth white skin. Flavorful flesh gets even sweeter after a good frost in autumn. In 1898, Nebraska Seed Company of Omaha said, "As name indicates, not as long as the Hollow Crown. Quality very sweet and delicate." We are glad to bring you this great old treasure.
