Parsnip Cobham Improved Marrow has good resistance to canker. It has a refined shape and smooth white skin.  It holds well for a late harvest.

SOW:  Early April to May

HARVEST:  October onwards

WHERE TO SOW:  

Plant seeds 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep. Because germination of even the freshest parsnip seed is often mediocre, seed thickly, at least two or three seeds per inch to ensure a good stand. Space rows 18 to 24 inches apart or plants 8 to 10 inches apart in a bed. Parsnip seed is slow to germinate and some gardeners drop a radish seed every foot in the furrow to mark the row and help break the soil crust. Once parsnip seedlings are up and growing, pull the radishes and thin parsnip seedlings to 2 to 4 inches apart.

Water thoroughly once a week in periods of extended dry weather to keep growth from slowing in summer.
