  • Parsnips are a brilliant crop that will stand in the ground over winter and provide food over a long period. The seeds can be quite slow to germinate, but in this video we demonstrate and discuss our method of planting parsnip seeds in toilet rolls and transplanting them out to grow on.
    At Don't Crop Me Now we grow on 2 full allotment plots which is 500 sq.m of allotment garden in Manchester, UK. Welcome to all our new subscribers - visit our website: dontcropmenow....

    Thank you for another great video, you really explain things so well and think of all the little things to add that us newbies don't know...like planting the loo rolls deep and not letting them stick out. Subscribed!

    Had varied success with parsnips in the past, but will now try your toilet roll trick which I think will ensure better results. Thanks.

    Morning hope your both doing well. My parsnips were grown in a mahoosive pot last year because I didn’t have room in a bed. Sadly they were an ok size but very woody for whatever reason. I have not done any this year and may give it a miss as I’m the only one that likes them. Thank you for sharing stay safe 🇨🇦🐝👍
