Parssweed

[Plot70]

I harvested this strange thing from a row containing a few spare parsnips.
I think it has been trying to grow into a sweed.

Its weird looking, how did it taste.

Wow!…what variety?

[Snoop Puss]

Looks like a half-long parsnip to me. I grow Guernsey and most of them look just like that. Very tasty variety. Great for difficult soils. Did you enjoy it, Plot70?

The seed came out of a normal packet from Wilco.
Some of the crop this year have fattened at the top with a slightly thinner but usable root below.
I suspect it is weather related.

Same. Must have been the drought

I had some next to a steak and the flavor was much better than some I harvested before the frozen soil.
They are threatening to sprout now.
