All American
130 days — The flesh of 'All American' parsnip roots are fine-grained, tender, and white colored with a sweet flavor. They are uniform and smooth with shoulders that are thick, two and one-half to three inches across, and tapering to ten to twelve inches in length.
'All American' parsnip has a high sugar content and stores very well in well drained garden soil, as well as in the root cellar. Each packet contains three grams, which is approximately 450 seeds.
Planting Instructions: Plant as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. Successive sowings into mid-summer will provide a fresh supply through winter.
Loosen soil to a depth of 18 inches. Cover the seeds with ¼ to ½ inch of soil in rows two feet apart. When the plants are well established, thin to four to six inches apart.
The root flavor improves with frost and they can be left in the ground during the winter. Mulch with straw and harvest as needed.

★★★★★ great parsnips

First time I have ever had parsnips, let alone grown them. They grew to be huge: about 3 in. in width and 12 in. long. The taste didn't seem very sweet and kind of reminded me if potatoes, but that may be because of the warm winter this year.
★★★★★ One of my favorites

I bought this and 2 other types of Parsnips. One is that I just love them and wanted enough to preserve and enjoy. This product did not let me down once I got the soil perfect for them to grow. They have a wonderful flavor. Just plant and keep weeded and watered.
