Well done Bill... my courgettes have done nothing yet and my parsnips certainly won't be that good!
;D

Wow, looks fantastic - things are much further on than mine (except carrots). When did you plant the parsnips? The foliage on mine is huge but am not sure when I can start harvesting!

great display especialy with the weather this year.
One tip parsnips is to sow two seeds per loo roll worked well for me this year.. I like them after a frost there sweeter and will stand in the ground all winter. Give them another go.
