I bet they taste good! They look as though they did well for the first few inches - but then hit some tricky going! Parsnips have very long roots - so deep digging is perhaps the answer! Digging is very good for you - but not much fun on a wet, wintery day - so perhaps you could grow something else- which will live happily in your patch! Anyway, enjoy the parsnips - nothing is better than eating your own, hard-won Produce! TopVeg Mark
