[Dougy]

Gutted roast beef and these efforts for parsnips, they look more like something out of Dr Who

[FalconFN]

Lack of water maybe as the tap root is very long. Carrots do the same when there is too much compost or organic matter as they prefer lean soils, parsnips may be the same.

Correct! I would think that they were grown in soil that was a bit dry and too rich for them. I believe that the ideal ground for growing carrots or parsnips would not have been manured for at least 12 months prior to planting or they stand a good chance of getting club root!

they have been crossed with a jelly fish

Hello fellow sir, I am let to believe that the police force may be doing something rather suspicious. My sister believes that the government have been experimenting with genetically modified earth. What you have there sir is something rather strange. Does it ignite relatively easily?I may be able to sell you some smoking papers for two pounds each.

Obviously eaten a few of them mutated parsnips, affected him rather badly with an affliction of the split personality

 

Best get the rest on the compost heap and lay off the large doses.

Ah! Now if he had said that right from the start it would have all been as clear as mud! I think I had better go back to bed.

Anyway, for those who can understand my English, they tasted ok. I'll go for raised beds next year . It could improve my parsnips and carrots.

I find a raised bed improves most things for me

The raised bed would almost certainly improve your parsnips and carrots! When you make the raised be try (If possible) to make it about a foot (At least) high and fill it with a good light sandy type of loam. DO NOT be tempted to add any well rotted manure of any type as this will quite likely cause the problem which you are trying to avoid!

 

I have read about a seaweed based product that is good for carrots and helps to deter carrot fly but I haven't tried it so can not say if it is any good or not!
