Title: Which Parsnip
Post by: Bugloss2009 on March 22, 2010, 13:32:11

for some reason I have two packets of parsnips- Javelin and Gladiator. Any thoughts on which is better?

Why not try them both and report back to us later?  ;D  ;D

I really like Gladiator, works really well for me, tasty and really canker resistant, I grow it every year. But I can't really compare as I haven't grown Javelin.

Gladiator does really well for me too but I have never grown Javelin, sorry.

I`ve grown both and they are as good as each other-I`ve grown other varieties as well.

Never really noticed any difference in flavour nor canker resistance
