Broad beans can be planted through to the end of May.  March is the usual time to sow parsnips so it's really too late for them.

All my books say mid Feb to mid April!
In that case I might sow some myself Grots! What variety do you grow?

I have sown in June for a late Autumn crop.

Beans and parsnips should be OK. Don't delay with the parsnips, they need a long growing season. It's a waste of time planting them before the soil warms up, but they should be OK now.
