Johnsons Parsnip Palace F1 Seeds

With uniform roots of exhibition quality, this is a high yielding vigorous hybrid which shows good resistance to canker and has an excellent sweet flavour. Protection of early sowings with cloches is advisable if soil is cold and wet. For a longer harvest season make both an early and late sowing and leave roots in the ground as flavour is improved by frost. Storage of undamaged roots is recommended in a dry frost-free area. Easy to grow and well suited to roasting or using in soups and stews.

Root vegetables boast a host of colours and flavours and include carrots, radish, horseradish, sweet potato, turnip and beetroot. Their low rate of metabolism allows for a relatively long postharvest life. Thanks to their high water content, they are key ingredients for a low fat diet. This wholefood is well suited for all cooking options: grilling, mashing, roasting, frying and even in soups. Don't skimp on sunshine when growing them!
