Beschreibung

Like the carrot, the parsnip is a biennial crop from the umbelliferae family. However, when grown as a vegetable, it is harvested in the first year. This is because in the second year it flowers and the root is then no longer edible. The turnips are yellowish-white and take a long time to grow to harvest maturity. Parsnip is a very old vegetable, which was almost forgotten. Therefore, there are only a few varieties.

Anbautipps

In cool temperatures, it is advisable to cover the plants with fleece. Regular weed control is necessary for young plants. In summer, the plants need a good supply of water as they develop lush foliage. Before harvesting, it is advisable to loosen the soil to make it easier to pull the roots out of the ground. Covering the soil with straw or fleece makes harvesting easier, as this prevents the soil from freezing.
