Well we have had a few cold spells, so time to lift a row of the Parsnip Gladiator F1. Some of which will be turned into Parsnip wine, one for Sunday lunch, and the rest blanched and put in the freezer for later.
The good lady wife had to dig some deep holes to get these whoppers out of the ground and lifted some perfect parsnips. Most of them where pretty straight specimens, but of course when growing anything you get some that grow a little rude.
Meet Mr and Mrs Parsnip.
In total for just a single row, 7.5kg of Parsnip Gladiator F1 came out of the ground today, not a bad haul.
Took all these home and then spent the afternoon preparing them all for the freezer, 4kg of the wonky ones where cut up for the wine, and we saved all the tops and peelings as well, so zero waste for us. The rest where all cut, blanched and bagged and put into the freezer.
We had one with our Sunday lunch. and again lovely and tender, even though they are so big, and for someone that does not like parsnips these are very nice indeed.
