Four gardeners have written :
, me this week to complain that ',
their parsnips did not come up.
.They want me to tell them why. :
Not one of them tells me how
long the seed has been in the
j ground, , whether it was fresh V
seed, or what type or soil they
; planted it In. 1 -
"Parsnips are rather slow of ger
mination. I believe earlier in the
season, I repeated :the informa
tion which bad been given me by
an expert vegetable gardener. He
said to plant radishes with' the
parsnip seeds. The. radishes would
be large enough to use when the
'parsnips had a fair start on life.
By pulling, the ra dished the par
snips , were thinned out The rad
ishes, mark; the tow long before
the parsnips come tip and permit
the cultivation of the so3 with
out disturbing the little parsnip
seedlings. We are alsd advised to
plant parsnips rather thickly.
While not knowing how long the
parsnip seeds have beetf in the
ground, I would advise against
digging .up the soU again until at
least three weeks have pased. I
can report that my own parsnip
seed was in 12 days. But I bought "
eed which was guaranteed to be
of 1942 vintage. . .
One "gardener! writes that she
had "winteredw over her parsley,
and the other day went out to get
some to find that only the tops
were left withering in the soil.
The roots were all gone."
. My guess would be mice.
Field mice are particularly fond
of parsley. They rained an en
tire 12-foot row of mine last
year, before I discovered them
at work. v
