A parsnip budding for second season seeding I believe.
(lemmy.world)
It’s my understanding that a bunch of root vegetables like carrots, daikons, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, etc. all grow their first year to store energy for the second years seeding.
Parsnips and turnips/rutabaga iirc say to harvest after a frost or two to sweeten them up, so I missed a bunch.
Not quite. They grow Cilium which help determine how far they can grow. If you grow them in a container, they will only grow as far as the Cillum strands go. If you plant in a shallow container, they won't ever grow as big as you expect grocery store produce to grow.
Right, I probably didn’t phrase it right, but the first years growing is all storing sugars for the second years flowering and then seeding yeah?
Container depth shouldn’t matter for that?
