Shannon Haskins replied to crowjoy's discussion Parsnips? in the group Veggie Gardens
"I usually direct seed them in mid-april.  It does take some patience, though, as it takes about 3 weeks for germination.  One tip I found helpful is to soak the seeds overnight before planting."

NPR: pesticide ≠ fungicide

Just have to state my annoyance that the news on NPR today warned farmers and gardeners to prevent late blight by spraying "pesticides." ARG! I am compelled to scream at them every time FUNGICIDES! FUNGICIDES!

I don't love the spin the author took on food preservation in this article, but it's an interesting read.

Should have kept an eye on the comment box - have been busy getting the gardens ready and planting :)

No worries, CJ. And I'm not being silly here when I say that Ning has very good "Help" (see tab above), which is no small feat. When I was crawling up the Ning learning curve, I used it quite a bit. Am also happy to answer questions as well. -- K
