Are these Parsnips?
« on: July 21, 2018, 10:16 »
I planted a few weeks ago, and these grew but I have no idea if they are Parsnips or not... they are about 3ft high!! They could be a weed

No, but I can't identify what they actually are - I'm sure someone else will sooner or later.

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I think they are some sort of weed but don't know the name.

I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

not parsnips I'm afraid.
they are a weed but like everyone else not sure what it is called.
a friend brought me some fym and also this weed as well.
it seems like a shiny leafed version of fat hen.
quite easy to dig out.

I think this is a weed called "Good King Henry". It is a Chenopodium and a close relative of fat hen and orache. Whatever you do prevent it from setting seed.
