As with 'My Parsnip' - again no prize winners, but quite pleased with these two I've just dug up. Again, the obligatory wine bottle! Variety is the good old faithful 'Autumn King'. Weighed nearly 2lb between them.

No raised bed, no manure, never done anything to it - just quite a light soil in that spot.

We've eaten all ours, but one of the old-timers was going to throw away all the ones he had grown which weren't big enough for him (they were the same size as the ones we'd grown!) and the ones with little splits in, so he let us help ourselves.
I wonder if I will ever get that fussy?

That's not being fussy - that is being plain wasteful!
