Parsnips seeds just won't germinate
Last year I planted two lots of parsnip seeds ( bought from a reputable source) a month apart. Neither germinated. This year I have started with the toilet roll planters inside my greenhouse. I've talked to them; played Mozart to them but no joy. Everything else is doing just fine. Have you any ideas as I really would like parsnips next winter. Thanks in advance for the advice.....and happy Easter.

Try this: get a glass or plastic tub with a lid that fits well. Put some kitchen towel in the bottom and make it very moist with tap water. Sprinkle some seeds in - make sure they make contact with the towel - and put on the lid. Leave it on a bright window sill. With a bit of luck they will germinate in days, then VERY carefully, into the pots or the drill they go.
