Help - Parsnips and toilet roll

I used to sow mine into loo rolls it worked well so long as I planted them in the ground at the first sign of a bit of green above the compost.  Otherwise you end up with forked scary looking roots.
I stopped sowing them that way after reading about pre-chitting it’s much easier to drop seeds onto damp kitchen roll then  planting them straight into the ground once they’ve chitted

Oh ok thanks Bren.

I believe you do use toilet rolls for others seeds? I've just been sorting bits out and have an awful lot of loo rolls!!!!
