I planted parsnips last year and they were easy. The seed take a bit longer to germinate then some, but I had a good stand. I planted Hollow Crown seed directly in the garden on April 22nd, thinned to about 6" spacing, and pulled them in early November after some hard frosts. Make sure the soil is fluffy and rock free to get decent shaped roots. The plants get very large, about 3' tall, so watch shading effects on other crops.
