My second attempt at growing parsnips and these have to be the best yet. No sign of disease, over wintered well, and very tasty. The variety is Gladiator and I bought the seeds from Suttons.
I am very impressed with the size of them too which is just incredible, particularly because my other attempt (different variety and position on the plot) were just OK by comparison. I lifted some for yesterdays Sunday dinner and I still have some left. I just wish I’d photographed some of the biggest ones!
Oh wow, those are giant parsnips! Nice! How will you cook them? I love parsnip fries!
Looking good, nice and big! Roast parsnips are the best, although I do mash them with spuds to put on my home-made Cottage Pie.
I love parnsips and i am yet to learn how to grow these, fab photo as always
I love roast parsnip the best, yum! Give them a go Fran!
I’ve been meaning to try growing parsnips. Yours look wonderful. Perhaps I’ll try a row this year.
Parsnips are on my list for this Autumn, a little too hot to plant at the moment. I only hope I grow ones that look like yours! Hope they tasted nice!
