Default When to harvest parsnips?

Hello!

I'd appreciate some advice on parsnip harvesting. I planted a good
number of them in the Spring. Now they are almost three ft tall, with
bright green healthy leaves. When should I start digging them up? I'm
in the Southwest of England, in case that makes a difference... I read
somewhere that it's best not to wait until after a couple of frosts
have occurred in the autumn. Is that good advice?

Thanks,

J

NEVER, NEVER until they have had frost on them.
