1 When growing parsnips, donât bother trying to start your seeds indoors, soak your seeds in water for a day before planting (to improve germination rates), and expect your parsnips seeds to take anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks to germinate.2  You can also improve germination rates by keeping soil moist and maintaining humidity. Since parsnip seeds have low germination rates, you may want to sow heavily and then thin seeds back (like you would with carrots). 2  Just be sure that after thinning thereâs a good 3â³ of space between parsnip seedlings. 3  WARNING! Be sure to wear protective gloves with sleeves when handling parsnip leaves.
