Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I’ve got some that match.
You have a parsnip, ugly maybe, that tastes as a parsnip should. It is going to be cut before cooking?, surely.
Roasting is only one method of cooking these. Washed, scraped, boiled ,mashed, buttered and peppered. Result!
Saute-ed in milk gives another dimension.
My suspicion is that you transplanted these at too late a stage? Am I correct?
Better results may occur if you:
Sow fresh seed(perhaps from Realseeds.co.uk), in situ, later in the season*.Plant thinly at 50mm centres, shallow and cover with a plank.Check after 14 days, remove. Select strongest seedling, thinning others, to space at 150mm. Keep moist(by mulching)Weed as required.Do not crowd- in with other crops.
*May is not too late!!
Please report.
