Peggy Sue, pm me your address, and I'll go out and collect some seed and send it to you.

But don't blame me if it doesn't come up! :mrgreen:

Edited to say that my OH wouldn't DARE weed my garden, as he knows that I know what every miniscule seedling is, weed, herb or pretty plant!

Hi Berti,
It's normal, parsnips make lots of leaves. I'd take it as a sign of good health. I've had som,e monster parsnips from bushy plants!
Groetjes, Jandra

I'm having some work done on my house and the builders needed somewhere to dump some rubble. They dumped it on my parnsips! They were under the rubble for a week - and today was the day when the rubble was removed. I dug up about ten and they are delicious! I strongly recommend others to cover their parsnips with rubble for a week for the same excellent result.

Oh bloody builders they really annoy me! When our new boiler was installed these guys were actually really good and left me with a much cleaner potting shed (boiler room) that it started off as yet they used my watering can as an ashtray and bin to chuck their plasters in - yet there's both a bin and a bloody ashtray in the potting shed/boiler room! :roll: :dontknow: :banghead:
