Parsnip "Gladiator"


To make room for the new raised bed shown in the next post, I had to lift the last of the parsnips. The variety is "Gladiator" and as you can see they are huge. The parsnip seed was pre-germinated on wet kitchen paper and sown in toilet roll inners before planting out into the bed and was, as you can see, an unqualified success.
