Title: Parsnips
Post by: springs on August 21, 2008, 15:42:29
A lot of my parsnip leaves are going brown and brittle. Do parsnips suffer with blight or is this some other disease

Would say they are beginning to die back a touch.

Yes it does mean the leaves are dieing back Spring, like the Scousers I pulled a few already but they are best left in the ground until we get some frost, I only pulled mine because the whole line I put in came up, so I need to thin them but are big snips that I'm thinning so  they are hard to pull up without disturbing the others.  ;D ;D ;D
