I have just bought some seeds has anybody grown this before any tip advise
I grew some last year, I sowed then direct in a raised bed, thats all I can remember really, they did OK, but not that big. :coffee2:
I grew some a while back the roots were pretty small but have had it in a meal out and was lush will be doing it again this year but in a pot
Tried growing it for the first time last year, but the results were not impressive. I did wonder whether it had a bit of carrot fly or something similar. It was hard to be sure, as the roots were so small. My sister in France grew it the year before and it was fantastic, so I will be persisting.
I have tried to grow it several times and not really had much success. It was difficult to germinate (like parsley to which it is related) and the roots were small (but tasty!)
If it grows well on the continent I wonder whether if needs higher temperatures or alonger growing season?
I grew it last year but got nothing from it, i put it down to inexperience, will try again this year.
I grew it two years ago, and thought it worthwhile - the leaves were a good (bitter0 addition to salads and the roots were small parsnips. Last year it was a write off - the weather and slugs did it in. i am trying again this year.
