Description

'Parsnip- Melbourne White Skin' seeds

Pastinaca sativa

  • Australian Heirloom variety
  • Long white roots
  • Flavour improved by frost

An Australian heirloom variety that grows long white roots. Flavour will be improved if left in the ground over cooler weather, including frost, which allows sugars to develop in the root. In cold climates parsnips can be left in the ground over winter to harvest in early spring. Parsnips have a sweet nutty flavour and can be steamed, baked or used to make chips or soup.

Ratings & Reviews

Parsnip- Melbourne White Skin

Really enjoyed these. I roast them. Add to soups etc. My soil is rather sandy. I fluffed the soil up so it was nice & loose. Had a great crop first year, every parsnip grew straight. Second year I was lazy & didn't loosen the soil so results were amusing, some had 3 legs etc! This year I'll be sure to prep my soil. I grow in raised beds. They germinate at different times. Like everything I thin them out as they start to get going. Highly recommended. Langwarrin, VIC.
