Planting instructions: Parsnips grow similar to carrots and don't handle mid-summer weather well. Parsnips should be planted in the early spring in well drained soil. Place seeds in tilled and enriched soil right after the last frost. Tilling deeper gives the roots more room to grow and develop.

I would have never believed there was such a difference in the seeds purchased from different places. But you've made a believer of me!
Thanks for a great product.

Matt
Delivery was quick and the product was in perfect condition. The germination rate was fantastic for both varieties (95%+) much better than I am used to from other seed suppliers. Thank you for the good service, product and price.
