The message
from Broadback contains these words:

We are another family that never peel, only scrub parsnips, the taste is
far superior. We seem fit and well, though sadly only three of mine
germinated this year so will be a famine this Winter! :-(

I'm so sorry to hear that. It must be terrible when some of your family
doesn't germinate...

Mine have germinated quite enough, thanks. When offered double or quit they
doubled. Thankfully the grandchildren don't seem to know what to do.
