I would reccomend Onward for peas, and Gladiator for parsnips.
Your might get every variety going posted here. It is a personal preference of course.
good luck with whatever you decide

If you run a search on parsnips I think you will find Tender and True come out as hot favourites!! This will be my first try at them and I will be using those.

Agree with CG about Onward peas!!

Tender and True are very good, depending on your ground, white gem from suttons is worth a consideration.

Thanks all for your replies. Not sure which ones I'll try but it's great to get some ideas from people who have grown them before.
