Suttons Parsnip White Gem

Specially bred by Suttons, Parsnip White Gem is highly recommended for use on all soils. Shorter roots than Tender and True, with fine, white smooth skin. An essential part of your Sunday roast! Considerable resistance to canker.

Sow thinly into finely raked, warm, moist soil at a depth of 13mm and in rows 30cm apart. Germination takes 10-28 days. Thin seedlings to 15cm between plants. Grows best in well cultivated soil which has not recently been manured. Ideally lift roots when requireed as frosts sweeten the flavour. In severe weather cover tops with 75mm straw or lift some roots and store in boxes of sand or soil.
Sowing -> Cropping – 28-32 weeks.
