very nice parsnip you have there DD, are they all this size ?
what breed is it?

A) - Don't know, just excavated the first one I came to.

B) - White Gem

not dug any of mine yet but they look great,i also sown white gem and tender n true,will let thee know the outcome

I think it was last year or the year before that the tops died off on some of mine quite early and grew back again :?

I normally would have left it until later, but as I said curiosity got the better of me as the foliage looked so good & the shoulders really broad.

Mind you, I've had 2" parsnips with broad shoulders in the past!

It certainly is a big one!!!!!

We've been eating some of ours, but I really want to save the rest until the frosts get to them, and to make sure I have some for Christmas!

OK - which one of you lot edited my post, specifically my quote from Munty?

I've put it back to the original now.

And don't think I haven't noticed the 'Razz' you've stuck in.
