  What you can do with parsnips is start the seeds off between two layers of damp kitchen paper on a plate,  covered in cling film. When they germinate, they put out a little root. You can then sow the resulting tadpole-like parsnipettes directly into their final stations in the bed, as you know they've germinated. 

  I am not sure whether this actually gets them off any faster, but I think I may do it this year as the soil and the air are still so cold.
