After two failed sowings due to our tropical April the third lot of Parsnips germinated.
Normally the thinnings at this time are carrot size and a delicacy. This year they didn't even need a lot of thinning out and are darning needle size Never mind at least it looks as if there will be Roast Parsnips this winter.
This means Dick who resides in Charente will pay me a visit when he is over to see his family this Christmas. I seriously think, no Organic Parsnips to Roast, no visit.
Do you have a cold storage for all your veg?

Thanks for the question mama.
The Parsnips stay in the ground all winter and are used from there. Some carrots we lift and store in boxes of sand in the barns with the potatoes which are stored in trays. Onions are roped and hung. A room in the house it dedicated to apple storage on racks.
Other seasonal surplus is frozen. We do try to have something green and fresh from the land all year round in addition to root crops

An elderly neighbour used to use an old air raid shelter when I was a kid. I loved rummaging around before Sunday lunch to see what we could come up with. Parsnips and honey. Yum!

Air raid shelter, yes ideal store, steady temperature, our lean to windowless stone barns are similar.
