    From year to year I am asked the same question: why do I dig up parsnips so late?

    And I explain to everyone that parsnip is a culture that needs to survive a couple of first frosts, then the root crop will be juicier and sweeter. I wait for these frosts until October.

    A third of root crops leave me to spend the winter in the ground in the garden. With them, nothing will happen in the winter. With the same root crops that I put in the pit, things are more complicated. Whatever I do, by the spring the parsnip begins to flobble. I selected a box for it, filled it with earth, buried root crops in it, but still they dry up by spring. So, while I can not find a super-way to keep the parsnips strong until the spring, I'll have to eat it before the New Year.

    Parsnip is a storehouse of useful substances and organic compounds used for medicinal purposes (for example, with heart and lung diseases). And as a spice it is added to soups and stewed to meat dishes. Personally, I dry root crops and use them as a seasoning for the first and second courses.

    But the main thing is a non-capricious and winter-hardy plant. I personally spend landing both in winter and in spring - it all depends on free time.
    I take root crops late, in late September - early October, guided by the weather. I’ve been growing parsnips for three years now. It grows well.

    I’ll better share my failures and describe the last landing that I spent on a raised (with the help of sawdust rotten for two years) bed. In general, on October 7, he planted seeds, and one root crop - on seeds.
    Spring came, the root began to grow, leaves appeared, and seedlings all are not present and no. Well, everything happens, all right.
    But since I have a small plot and wasteland on it is an inadmissible luxury, I decided to plant potatoes that had not sprouted parsnip. It was June 9th. And in the midst of these planting work, I suddenly discovered seedlings of parsnip.

    Why so late, I think?

    I looked into the literature to refresh my memory and found out that parsnip sprouts during spring planting appear on the 10-20th day, and in adverse weather conditions - on the 25-30th at a temperature of 5-6 ° (although the optimum is 16-18 °) .
    But I have an autumn landing, and the delay is too much. Miracles, in short.
    But the root crop from the heart gave seeds, since the summer was warm.
    But even here I gave a blunder: I delayed with cleaning, which led to abundant self-seeding (a visual confirmation of the quality of seeds). The next year, these sprouted seeds also gave root crops, but not enough - that's how I robbed myself.
    But after normal farming, parsnip grows without any problems. For example, neither in the rainy summer 2015 year, nor in the heat 2016-th problem with him was not. I have never met any diseases or pests on him.
    Such an abundance of seeds to me to anything, so I offer them to everyone who wants for free.

    I want to grow parsnips, I heard that its leaves and stems contain some kind of toxic substance that in the sun, when it gets on the skin, causes reddening and itching, sometimes even blisters. It's true?

      - In his dacha area for several years growing parsnips and this phenomenon is not observed. Especially in the literature there are recommendations on the use of young leaves of parsnip in salads and garnishes. So do not be afraid to grow this vegetable.

    I grow parsnip almost every year. Therefore, I know firsthand that his seeds are very capricious: they quickly lose their germination. So, if you collected your seeds in the fall, you must sow them in the spring. And that the parsnip gave the seeds, just leave a couple of root crops to winter in the ground. Next year they will release the flower arrows, which by the end of summer form seeds. I do just that.
