Did you sow them or plant them as plugs?

It is early to be pulling them especially as far North as you are.  I expect I sow mine earlier than you but don't usually pull any before November.

Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut and be suspected of knowing nothing than opening it and proving it.

It is a bit early, but for the past 2 years I have only had tiny parsnip offerings.  However the previous year they were lovely!  And not grown in the same bit of ground each time either!  :mellow:
