Don't forget parsnips can be funny as well!  :(

Here is a lady parsnip stuck in a queue for the loo!

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

My maiden name is fletcher, and when I was at Junior School, my new teacher said to me "Oh Ann Fletcher, any relation to Cyril?"  "Who?" I asked.  when I got home I asked my Mum if I had an uncle Cyril!!!!

But yes, I love the comedy carrots too, very friendly carrots yours Ice!

Here's a couple of mine!  The third one was part cucumber, part melon.  The Melumber!! :D

Do you lot deliberately put stones and other obstacles into the ground in order to produce these distorted veg?

My carrots and parsnips are not in the least bit funny :(

You won't believe this SC, but we live in the Lincolnshire fens and we have fine soil with no stones, and the ground wasn't manured either, so figure that one out!     :lol: :lol:
