Parsnips are a pain. They will only germinate when the soil is warm
enough. I've hoed up my row as the few that rooted are lost amongst weeds.
I'm trying growing them in pots in a cold-frame now. The germination rate
is fast and good, so I'll soon need to plant them out before the roots hit
the bottom of the pots.

Peas should be up in a couple of weeks. Similarly French runner beans.

Thanks, that has cheered me up a bit, I'll just have to be a little more
patient!
