Having re re re and resown carrots, parsnip, sweetcorn, brussels sprouts
and a few others, not one of them are looking anything like healthy.
I think it's time to admit defeat this year.

Years back urg had a large-scale veg grower poster (Alan Gould) who
extended veg bed rotation from the usual 4 years to 5. The fifth year, his
raised bed lay unplanted and fallow to "rest the soil". You could look up
his "fallow" advice in the google archive.
