It's difficult to tell them apart from the sprouting broccolis. It's such a shame that your parsnips fared so poorly this year, it seems that your entire patch has been infected. I hope that you have better luck with them next year.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-48042069919451308822015-12-21T17:01:17.407+00:002015-12-21T17:01:17.407+00:00That's a really nice variety of veggies you ha...That's a really nice variety of veggies you have for this time of year. Your Brokali must be a different variety than what I grow, as my leaves are never curly like that. Yours also has more of the leaves, which is a nice bonus too.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-3869362832462748892015-12-21T15:27:40.594+00:002015-12-21T15:27:40.594+00:00Thanks as always for the images.

You can pluck leaves here and there before the broccoli part is finished and use it in stir fry or other dishes, juice etc... Also I had these beautiful Parsnips in previous years but also seem to have what yours suffered from. When I moved allotments I think this ground is ruined though many claim it to be better than where I was.<br /><br />Another person has claimed this rot/sickness was the same source and damage (from carrot fly) <br /><br />Curious if you ever heard that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-19226402314714020022015-12-21T13:13:33.899+00:002015-12-21T13:13:33.899+00:00Another nice harvest.

We just used up the last of the garden lettuce this past week, so unfortunately, we will have to make due with grocery lettuce until spring arrives. I wonder how long you will be able to keep your lettuce patch going this winter...Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.com
