Report in DT the other day that parsnips in Norfolk were too large to be
accepted by supermarkets. The reason given the dry weather!!

Didn't have that effect on mine -but then mine were grown from organic
seed.
Maybe some genetic engineering gone a bit wrong?


The ones I've dug up so far have been smaller than usual, normally ours are
huge great things and I always have to break off the root to get them out.
Mind, they were difficult to germinate this year, even worse than usual, so
I did have to reseed half of them.
