I mentioned this briefly on another thread a while ago, but I am a bit worried about parsnips.
This year I sowed mine in late Feb in loo roll centres and paper pots, put them outside a month or so later and am now pulling lovely huge roots.
However, once you cut off the long useless bit of root, cut out the middle woody bit, there is not alot left.
What about if I sowed them later, say early June and planted the paper pots so close they were almost touching.
Surely I would have lovely small parsnips that wouldn't need coring, just cutting in half and sticking in the oven.
Not only that, but I would also have loads of them in the space where I would only have a few giant ones.
Whats wrong with that idea?
