Vinny's Allotment Plot

OH was out of sorts today so told her I would make a flying visit to plot to water up and check on stuff.

As mentioned in another thread Mother Nature had let me off and only killed only half of my dahlias, leaving me plenty to grow on. After watering brassicas and leeks I had a quick check of the plot. I was pleased to see that a goodly proportion of my direct sown parsnips have germinated. I normally sow these in February but managed to get them in in early March. I scraped a grid pattern for sowing and sowed a pinch at each intersection of the grid. They are coming up in little clumps and will be thinned to one in each position when they get a bit bigger. To save root disturbance I will just use a pair of scissors to snip off unwanted plants.  I am still harvesting parsnips now from last years sowing and they appear to be standing well.

I could freeze some, but never seeing any frozen ones in shops I just wonder whether they will go to mush?

Luckily I only had to leave OH less than half an hour.
