No guarentees as to germination rates or owt like that cos I ain't got a clue. Also, not sure how likely it is to have crossed - can't see it being too much a problem as long as I get parsnips. Anyways, it started life as Wilkos White Gem. It is now organic parsnip seed and there is quite a bit so shout if you want some. Very Happy

yup, I would please.......................................BUT there are 2 buts, firstly I'm not sure if I've got anythiing that you might want to swop, I'm a bit low on stuff, cept chillis Embarassed

and secondly you can only send me some on the strict guarantee that if I don't plant them you'll leg it over here and get very very cross with me! Embarassed

'Bout bloody time eh? Laughing

BTW guys, mine have started germinating and look to be quicker and more reliable than the stock they came from so fingers crossed.
