parnsips and manure

Hi all,
quick question..will parsnips grow normally in horse manure? or will they become all misshapen like a carrott would? as all my beds are filled with manure i'm hoping it will be ok. home grown parnips are just the best!
cheers

I am trying mine in big pots this year, as they did not do well in my raised beds last year as i had to much manure in them. I am trying what John put in his book, multi purpose compost with sharp sand 70:30. Fingers crossed.

I must admit that I manure all my beds heavily every fall, and parsnips are direct seeded wherever there's a good space. And I get primarily lovely long straight parsnips, with only a few forked ones which no doubt hit some of the many stones still in my soil. So yes, you can grow in manured ground - I've done it for years. And I also seed my carrots in manured soil and they're so sweet people wonder if I added sugar.
