Today i was rushed for time again but managed to get down to the allotment this afternoon to plant some parsnip seeds.
When i arrived there was one other person there ,i think mornings are busy and with only 4 places to park afternoons might be a better option from now on
Ive never seen parsnip seeds before so this a new veg for me to grow
germination is a bit hit and miss so did a lot of reading on which is the best way to plant them fingers crossed they grow :)
The soil is very stony there so first i had to make a hole so that the roots can grow straight down without hitting a stone as this causes the roots to fork ,next filled the holes with a mix of soil and compost then
planted the seeds .
I bought a poly tunnel today and placed that over them that should help with germination, now i just have to water and wait
