Afternoon folks,
Firstly can we have an Everything Roots section, apologies if there is one and I've missed it! ( New section opened just for you, Broadway.)
Anyway, everywhere I've read you can't transplant carrots or parsnips so has anyone tried?
Regards..........Danny

Methinks you may get away with transplanting stump rooted varieties.  There's always the issue of 'The Fly' getting a sniff of them while you are doing it though.
I have transplanted parsnips into missed areas in rows before with some success, never tried carrots though.

I've transplanted both and ended up with wonky/forked roots.

I've never tried it, and I have seen carrots with perfect 90 degree angles because of transplanting. They look funny, but are of course perfectly edible
