Parsnips

Parsnips for Christmas
Among the priority purchases whilst in England, were a couple of packs of parsnip seeds. Although it was way past the sowing season, a few seeds were sown. It seemed a vain attempt to spruce up the Christmas repast. All previous carrot growing attempts had met with limited success. Not so much fanging/forking or diseases but overly spindly roots. The half dozen eatable specimens came as an unexpected surprise.

I gave up growing parsnips…. they always had “woody” interiors. Good luck.
Carrots grow like weeds in my garden…. don’t know why….

It somehow turned windy when I opened a packet of carrot seeds. I had woody core trouble with them rather than parsnips. Definitely the better way round.

I love parsnips but can`t seem to grow them as well as carrots. Having a lot of success at the moment with Tomatoes and corn.
