How do! Long time since I last blogged but that is due to being very busy which isn't such a bad thing.
Last year I attempted growing parsnips in an upturned council compost bin. ( see earlier blog 'Parsnip Planting'). Well the results were very pleasing. I had to use a six feet long pinch bar in order to lever them out. The largest of the bunch fed my sister and her two girls twice. The next one down went to my mum and we ate three or four over the course of several weeks.
These three whoppers were the first out the bin.I take a european size ten boot, so the biggest one is about 15 inches long.
Most big veg aren't as tasty as their smaller counterparts but the taste wasn't too bad at all.
It was a bit of a job getting them in the oven though.
So if you like your parsnips good and long try the system outlined in the earlier blog.
I found the end result quite satisfying.The end result being a well heaped Sunday lunch plate.
Next up will be a rip roaring tail about the wierd and wonderful things I do with snails, weeds and ventilated dustbins. So stay tuned.
Go and get grubby.
