Sowing Carrots and Parsnips

In this video I sow carrots and parsnips direct into the veg plot beds and cover them with black plastic to increase the soil temperature.

give them a go. Soft deep soil which isnt very rich.

I’m still waffling on doing parsnips as I’m the only one hat eats them. Missed the live as it didn’t pop up but not to wiporry I’ll catch up with it. My goal this year successional sowings 🤞. Have a super week and happy gardening, Ali ☔️🇨🇦

We all like parsnips here and carrots so growing 50% more of each this year. Thanks for watching Ali.

This year Jason I'm trying the chitting method on kitchen paper and also trying some in kitchen paper rolls, then later as the soil warms I'll direct sow as well... Pea frames and peas sown direct today too..

Hi Stephen. That should cover all the bases. They can be difficult to germinate. Great news on the peas. We will soon be complaining it’s to warm and dry 😂

I sowed some carrot and parsnip seeds in a deep raised bed today myself,fingers crossed they do well.sowing some flowers seeds tomorrow and tomato seeds.

Great stuff. Let’s hope we both have some warm weather soon and good harvests later in the year.

Compost bag is a good tip. My soil is still too cold but I can't wait to sow my carrots and parsnips. First try at parsnips last year didn't go well so I'll try them again this year

Hi Mags. Over sow, be patient and have fresh seed for parsnips. Plus soft stone free soil if possible. Thanks for watching 👍
