I bought 2 packets from Fother* with 500 seeds in each. I'll sow them March/April time depending on the weather. I sow them both quite thickly in 20' rows as they don't keep. Last year they germinated well and I got more or less full rows with plants 4 to 6" apart.
I'm not too happy with what I've been sent as one packet looks to be a year older: one says sow by 2024, the other by 2023. I'll be annoyed it 2023 one does poorly and I'd never expect any germination by then for parsnips. I know when I was starting out if I saw that, I would carefully sow about 100 this year as I would expect them to last as long as they say.
