parsnips and carrots

[Mr&MrsB]

We have some of these and they seem to be growing well, only thing is, i have a feeling they are to close together, we didnt sow them then plant them out, we sowed them direct in to the troths.

What will happen if they are to close together, will they not produce friuts? smaller friuts, all grow in together?

Any advice welcomed

I reckon you need to thin them to just leave a plant at approx. the correct spacing.

if they are too thick/close togther they won't produce anything usable.

let them grow and thin them by picking the bigger ones...get some funny shapes but still edible...

ah cool, i dont mind the funny shape ones, makes it more interesting

I've had to read this post three times. And I still don't get it.

Fruits? Off a parsnip?

Its just something i have always said, whether the plant be veg plants or fruit plants, if they produce anything i have alway called that fruits
