(http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/animal/1/animal16.gif)Given me a laugh EJ.I can just picture them dancing about on the work surface when you've all gone to bed.(http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/animal/1/animal16.gif)
Very strange looking ;D
I think they look wonderful - like Ents from the Lord of the Rings!
What are they?
they look like extralegparrtestrials to me pre 1900 group lol
F1?
And what were they supposed to become?
Extraparsnipials, perhaps?
Parsnips from outerspace! hehehe. See what happens when you start them off in a seed tray and plant them out. All those little biddy root hairs were damaged and they became aliens! I spent a good while cleaning, peeling and blanching them and they are now in my freezer. Labour of love! ;D
I've got a load like that as well and I didn't even transplant mine so I wonder what caused that ?
They taste fine though, even if they're trickier to peel.
-B_B-
I'm expecting mine to be a bit strange because my book said don't manure the soil. Since I was digging it for the first time anyway I thought I I'd manure it to help break it up a bit.
I haven't dug any yet, but if I get any U.P.Os (Unbelieveable Parsnip Objects) I'll let you know.

strange foot and a half straight things???
Should mine look like yours(http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/happy/1/happy61.gif)
