My wifes parsnips have turned out to be hollow, eaten alive from the
inside,
some have just the outer skin left. A few are untouched and appear fine.
They were grown in a plastic box with the bottom removed - unlikely that
something like a mouse could climb the outside. Any ideas what would do
the
damage?


It could be woodlice, they can hollow out root vegetables, as I've found to
my cost.
