Hi

Here's my first ever parsnips, grown in a flower bucket, a bit neglected.   :)

Hey Spotty, or is it Mint?  I'm not laughing! The tops look fine, the bottoms being a bit straggly make me wonder if they got thirsty...   :unsure: but I bet they taste great! I only grew them for the first time this year too. :)

If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

Hi

Probably thirsty, never watered them. A long story, but certainly neglected.  :)

I think you've done pretty well there, cant see a lot wrong.  They are all usable,no real blemishes or forking , well done  I say  :)

It would usually be about now that DD would post his giant parsnip photo but he's obviously on his very best and nicest behaviour today!  :unsure:  :lol:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

Hi

Nice parsnip, mine were a small variety "Arrow". But still finger/bite size.  ;)

They were grown in a Morrisons flower bucket, the bigger size, in compost.
