  1. Plant the 15 parsnip seeds you get.
  2. Sell the seeds for 8 cauliflower seeds
  3. Do something else.

I'm #2. It takes longer, but I get more money out of it. While they grow, I fish, then mine on max luck days.

I usually plant the 15 parsnips because of the scarecrow recipe for farming level 1. But then I spend the starting g and whatever extra I make before Pierre closes (from extra forgeables or donating an artifact) on one of each CC crop and the rest on potatoes. Potatoes have better return on investment than anything else at that point, and they're cheap enough that it's not as devastating if a crow eats one.

You could sell a couple for 10g each if you get carrot seeds because they have the same exp as parsnips but carrot seeds sell for 15g, but they're done a day faster and the energy is better...

Potatoes do have a better return on investment per plant both because of the difference in growth speed, parsnips actually give you a better return if you replant all profits. This is because the growth cycle makes your plot grow much much faster with parsnips.

That assumes that your plot keeps growing all season ofc.
