Surprisingly Good Year for Parsnips?

And some carrots too.....

Gladiator parsnips are the biggest ever and a fair few of my Autumn King carrots too

These were grown in the same raised bed and well established before we had an infestation of chickens which destroyed my leeks,swedes and beetroot!

 

Not had parsnips for a while, but had me some great horseradish along the side of the stream near us.
Carrots not a one this year, Eskimo, Autumn King, and a rainbow selection all came to nothing. Or should I say didn't come at all.

 

I'm still waiting for a decent frost before i start rumaging

 

Me too. Trouble is sometimes we don't get one until well into December, and I have plenty of Parsnips to eat ... perhaps I'll chance digging up some of my Gladiator
