Parsnip – Countess

£5.99

High yielding with good disease tolerance
This variety of parsnip has good disease tolerance and is easy to grow. The parsnips form a smooth skin and are very uniform in shape. Growing from our plug plants is very easy – just pop them in your veg plot when your plants arrive – the parsnip plants come in biodegradable pots so you can just plant them as they come. This helps to minimise root disturbance. A complete growing guide is provided.

Number of plants: 10 plug plants

Variety: Countess (organic)

In the kitchen: Delicious roasted with some honey. Alternatively, try mashing your parsnips with other root vegetables. Parsnips can also be thinly sliced and fried to make delicious chips or crisps.

THESE PLANTS WILL BE SHIPPED IN SPRING 2024

Delivery Info: Please see FAQs for up-to-date delivery info.

Planting advice: Plant plugs 30cm apart in well dug soil. Harvesting: Ideally after the first frosts for a better flavour.

*Transplants suitable for organic growing.

Do I need to sign for them?
All our plug plant orders are dispatched with an overnight courier* to mainland UK and do not need to be signed for when they are delivered, but will be left somewhere safe. When placing your order, please let us know where you would like the plug plants left if you are not in when the courier delivers.

We will keep you posted
You will receive an email approximately a week before your order is dispatched and another on the day your plug plants are packed and leave us so you know to expect and prepare for their arrival.
