I dug some parsnips yesterday but some were only the outer shell. what caused that?(//)
mmm could be canker or a combi of canker and slug damage.
Are they all like that..
Barriedalenick, these were the last of my row a couple were ok
Mice do that.

Yes, is that what it said on the packet?? hahaha! Seriously, I have had mice do this to Parsnips & also to J Fartichokes... They even built a nest in one of them for an encore!
I also found out about "hollow crown"parsnip as a very old variety but still popular! But I shall be on the look out for the mice on my next visit , weather permitting, many thanks.
Well, if the mice are eating out the woody core some parsnips have,
bring 'em on!
