I was thinking of clearing out some old seeds, but wondered if it wasn't
worth just giving them a last chance to sprout in some compost in my
(unheated) green house. Questions:

What chance have two year old parsnips and leeks of sprouting?

Is there a size above which it becomes infeasible to transplant parsnip
seedlings? (I once read that you shouldn't be able to transplant root
vergetable seedlings, but I managed okay this year with swedes and
beetroot)

Will seeds planted this early 'get ahead of themselves' and tend to go to
seed?

I'd have said a very good chance, but isnt it the wrong time of year,
shouldnt you wait until spring? What does it say on the packet, or failing
that google for right time of year to plant parsnips/leeks.
