Parsnip Palace: Royalty in Your Garden!
Discover the regal Parsnip Palace, a parsnip variety that rules over gardens with its sweet, tender roots and a flavour fit for kings and queens. This parsnip boasts an elegant, tapered shape and a delightful sweetness that intensifies after exposure to frost. Here’s a brief guide on how to cultivate the Parsnip Palace:
Growing Guide:
- Soil Selection: Choose well-draining, loose soil that is free of rocks to allow the roots to develop without obstruction. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter.
- Consistent Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist to encourage even and steady growth. Water deeply to ensure the roots receive sufficient hydration.
As the Parsnip Palace parsnips mature, you’ll be treated to sweet, earthy flavours that are perfect for roasting, mashing, or incorporating into hearty soups. This royal parsnip variety adds a touch of sophistication to your culinary creations.
Planning your site
It is best to allow your soil to warm up before planting out your parsnips, so either use cloches or fleece over soil or wait until a little later in the spring to plant out. Parsnips like a sunny open site, with deep, loose soil which long roots can easily push through. Try to remove large stones and obstructions as these can lead to root forking. Plant out at around 15cm intervals.
Growing tips
Hand weeding it best so as not to damage roots, especially when young. Even, consistent watering will prevent root split.
What to watch out for
Carrot Fly can be a problem, as can Parsnip canker.
What to do when your plants arrive
- Unpack them. Your seedlings will arrive carefully packed in bio-degradable straw, cardboard and paper. They may look a little bit bedraggled from their journey. Don’t panic – this is totally normal and they should soon perk up. Please try and unpack your plants as soon as they arrive, as every extra hour they spend in the box will add to the stress of travelling to their new home.
- Give them a drink. Having spent a day or two in the post, your new plants will be thirsty! Stand them up in some fresh water for a few minutes to make sure their roots have been thoroughly soaked before planting.
- Plant them out into their forever home! Your plants can’t wait to get their roots into the soil. Plant them out according to the instructions that will have come in the box with them. Make sure you water them in well, and give them plenty to drink until their roots have had a chance to get settled.
