Planting and Care Guide:
1. **Location:** Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-drained soil. Parsnips thrive in full sunlight and loose, fertile soil.
2. **Planting Time:** Sow seeds directly into the ground in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. For a fall harvest, sow seeds in midsummer.
3. **Sowing Depth:** Plant seeds ½ inch deep in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. Ensure good soil contact for proper germination.
4. **Germination:** Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate, which typically takes 14-21 days.
5. **Thinning:** Once seedlings emerge, thin them to 3-4 inches apart to allow for proper root development.
6. **Watering:** Water parsnip plants regularly, providing about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry periods.
7. **Fertilization:** Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time and side-dress with nitrogen halfway through the growing season to promote healthy growth.
8. **Weed Control:** Keep the area around parsnip plants free from weeds, as they can compete for nutrients and water.
9. **Harvesting:** Harvest parsnips when they reach the desired size, typically after frost has sweetened their flavor. Use a garden fork to gently loosen the soil around the roots and lift them out carefully.
10. **Storage:** Store harvested parsnips in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator for up to several weeks. Enjoy fresh in soups, stews, roasts, and more!
