I think we only can grow them not that very long season starting end summer or early autumn. Because growing from spring will probably make the root woody over summer with heat stress and lack of water. I try to look out when parsnip is in season in our local market so I can take a guess how long usually it is Malay-Kadazan girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692400837667241873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791441406225351573.post-43747370940153942672011-05-23T00:33:35.017+09:302011-05-23T00:33:35.017+09:30Parsnips are very slow to mature.

But I don't think it will grow that big because we planted it end of summer. If we harvest it in spring before bolt. I heard it grows really slow. Is is true?
