What would you do?

I planted some parsnip seeds out about 3-4 weeks ago. They were last years (I know, should be fresh ones!) and there are just a few starting to show. However I have been thinking of growing PSB this year and the only place I have room to put them is where the parsnips are. So do I just ditch the parsnips, which may be hit and miss and put the PSB in. I take it it's not too late to plant PSB plants?

What would you do?

If the parsnips have germinated, you have parsnips!

So as sunshineband says, it depends what you want to eat. Personally I'd be thinking about when I want the veg. If you have plenty of winter crops already, maybe go for the PSB?

Thing is I loved the parsnips, but wife said we have too many last year!!
Don't have any other winter crops.

I have never grown PSB and do like eating them. mind you I like eating most things! 

Parsnips have some advantages . . . you don't have to protect them from the birds . . .

I'd make it a mixed bed, and plant the PSB  in the gaps where the parsnips haven't appeared.

Personally I'd keep the parsnip:

- PSB takes up a lot more growing space (room for at least 4-6 parsnips compared to 1 PSB plant!)
- it won't produce sprouts until spring next year so you'll have no other crops from that space allocated to PSB for the next 10-12 months
- my opinion is PSB is a bit over-rated but I suppose it does fill the hunger gap in the gyo calendar while waiting for other things to start growing
