Chitting Parsnips

Afternoon Folks

I forgot about my parsnips and the growth is now about 1.5 inches long, can these still go in or should I start some again.

The bed probably won't be ready for another week.

TIA

Merged with your other thread with identical title.
I'm assuming these aren't last year's seeds though.

Cheers Veggie

I would start again. If you damage the taproot or don't get it really straight when planting them you're likely to end up with stunted/forked parsnips.
