Cant resist showing off :)

Peapod - that is some parsnip - enough to feed a small army.
Solway - I am deffo going to try your way of growing parsnips next year. Have tried and failed so many times to grow them in my garden. Strange that I have grown carrots in pots and never thought of parsnips. 

sorry to hijack this thread. can somebody pls explain what is morrisons flower bucket? where do we get it (morrisons ofcourse  ... but what section)
can you please enlighten us  on how to grow on those?

Hi prakash_mib They are the large buckets that many supermarkets use to hold their bouquets/bunches of flowers. Many of the supermarkets will either give them away or sell them for a nominal sum. You could also try a local florist. You will need to drill holes at the bottom of the pots to let excess water drain out.

any one made parsnip wine from them?
i fancy trying next year.

Yes, a good few years ago. It was delicious ...... like a medium sherry but if I remember correctly it had to mature for 12months 

I think I'D be roasted if I wasted his precious Sunday dinner snips on wine

I make 5 gallon of parsnip wine every year, its on of my favourites, it does make an excellent sherry type wine.
