Let's just get this in a bit of perspective here. I have
not managed to grow decent parsnips. I have managed to grow
*a* decent parsnip. Out of a packet of about 300. The year
after I sowed the seed.

That's better than I've done :-(((((

Rhiannon, wondering whether any further parsnips will appear
next year.

If you do, I don't mind taking them off your hands ... go halves perhaps?

I pay a good price ...
