  • Giant Parsnips

    For some strange reason my parsnips are huge this year...variety is tender and true. I have done nothing different to normal but they are real monsters

    Any ideas?

    No ideas but, they are whoppers, unless you have tiny hands

    (Have you noticed how giant strawberries are always in the hands of children?)
    My apologies for the digression, Mr GL Mod, Sir

      My guess would be that the weather conditions have been just right for parsnips. I think I have some huge ones at my friend's judging from the size of the foliage, but I haven't dug any up yet.

          If GL carved the middle out, he could turn them into slippers

            If VC strapped them to her feet she would be over 4'

              Stiletto heeled parsnips - or maybe parsnip-stilts, they'd give me a bit more height

                          My beetroot are of similar size too!
                          I thought they'd be woody in the centre but they're not!
                          Those look lovely GL!
