With Thanks to: http://carletongarden.blogspot.com/2019/04/digging-parsnips-in-spring.html
On Easter morning (April 21) I awakened the last of my parsnips. I have never overwintered them but was told they are candy in spring. Last fall, I left half of my crop in the ground.
And, yes, they are exceptional after overwintering! I additional olive oil, also roasted them using a few potatoes, smoked paprika, and curry powder. Tasty using all our Easter dinner.
Easter morning I dug a couple overwintered leeks (I must remember to go dig the rest of them shortly ), and I picked a wonderful group of overwintered novel choy. It is so good to be acquiring backyard vegetables! And digging in the dirt!!
