jok 3,342 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Well. For what it's worth. Don't muck the ground for parsnips. Not sure why but they reckon it makes the plant split it;s roots and you end up with not a lot. On the plus side with carrots. 2 of my allotment neighbours have sowed in half blue barrels and they have done very well. Learn every year don't we/ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,342 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Back to August and things were looking good. Well, I know it's early but just had to check the parsnips. Sound, clean and sweet as a nut. Most surprised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
