I planted some parsnip seed mid March (fresh seed which was harvested last Autumn by an allotment neighbour who always saves his own) between a row of peas. The parsnip seed didn't germinate although it was watered. But it noticed this afternoon that the parsnip seed is now germinating - not just the odd seedling but the whole row, probably because we've had a lot of rain over the past week or so. Is it worth leaving or is it too late for it to give a crop?
Leave them alone, they will be fine in my opinion :)
I have only just sown some now. They always catch up over the autumn.
They will be fine
I'm trying mine in toilet-roll assisted modules this year.... went out a few weeks ago along with the celeriac...

Many thanks for the advice - have grown most things but not parsnips.
