Food Growing And Gardening

Parsnips are a root vegetable in the Apiaceae family, also called Umbelliferae, which also includes carrots. Cultural requirements are very similar.

Keep an eye on the weather report - protect frost-tender plants when the temperature falls below 32 degrees. Divide perennials like daylilies and chrysanthemums. Prune crepe myrtles, cane berries, and roses, and clean-up trimmings.
