**Pastinakk** har eg ikkje sådd, men planta røter som blei til overs frå matleveransar i [[2014|vinter]]. Og gjett kva -- dei spirte og voks betre enn dei fleste frø! No i juli er dei ferdigblomstra, og eg venter på å hausta frø. == Nyttige fakta == > Harvest parsnips after they have been exposed to freezing temperatures. Cold weather improves flavor and sweetness, as the starches turn to sugars. ([[http://www.gardenersnet.com/vegetable/parsnip.htm|gardenersnet.com]]) > Do not grab the plant to pull out the roots. The plant will almost always break away from the roots. Rather, dig out roots with a shovel or pitch fork.([[http://www.gardenersnet.com/vegetable/parsnip.htm|gardenersnet.com]]) > Parsnips are excellent for over-wintering in the soil. You should be able to harvest roots well into the spring. Cover the area with mulch or straw, to keep ground from freezing. ([[http://www.gardenersnet.com/vegetable/parsnip.htm|gardenersnet.com]]) == Morofakta == > Parsnips are members of the carrot family. This plant is native to the Mediterranean, where early Greeks and Romans grew parsnips. > In Ireland, a beer was made from parsnip roots, by boiling the roots with water and hops.
