Why these dates
Sow two weeks before the last frost and expect three to four weeks before anything appears. Lift from autumn or leave in the ground and dig as needed.
The root is hardy well below -12C and sweetens after frost, exactly as a parsnip does.
Seed packets and extension guides express timing as weeks either side of the last spring frost, because that is the only reference point that travels. Parsley root are timed for direct sowing 2 weeks before it, and this page simply resolves those offsets against the frost date computed for Victoria.
