# Parsnip recipes

The parsnip is a root vegetable related to the carrot. Parnips tend to flourish in cooler climates as frost helps develop the flavour. They can be planted early Spring or as soon as you are able to work the ground and tend to prefer silty, clay soil.

There are a number of different varieties of Parsnips. Some of the most common parsnip seeds include “Gladiator” seeds which is an all round performer, “Albion” seeds which produces parsnips with long tapering roots and resistant to Parsnip canker, “White Gem” seeds which offer up a heavy yield, “Hamburg Parsley” seeds which is a very robust parsnip and “Lancer” seeds  which can be harvested from early June to the end of November.
