Seedcorn, the parsnips came up well last year, didn't grow all that great, and tasted like no parsnip I've had in the past. They were even rather tough!
Despite having quite a few of them, I wasn't very happy. It may well have been the variety. I'd have to look it up - something new for me in '09.
I'm not the most experience parsnip grower. I've only had them about 6 or 7 years. I do like the flavor (normally). But, they can be a bit overwhelmingly sweet.
And yet, in my garden: carrots often split - parsnips, never do.
I'm real happy to have a "boatload" of celeriac this year! Other than being remarkably small one year, they haven't failed me in the half-dozen years I've grown them. Gosh, I will be eating celery root this winter until the cows come home . . .

Oh, we should talk PW into growing celeriac! Problem there is that we'd never get a delightful harvest photo
. Gotta be the homeliest veggie on the face of the Earth

They made me hungry just by looking at them. It's funny that the "perfect" veggies in the store don't look as good as home grown.
