I'm Swedish and yuck poo to parsnips...Had one too many forced down my throat as a kid. Mom always tried to disguise them in Mashed potato's. I think it's why I can't bring myself to make stew cause mom always put them in it.
Curbie shopping for Straw bales that people toss out after Halloween from there decor. Got two so far. Last year I laid them around all my herbs, kale, swiss chard, onions, raspberries and all did quite well through the snowy season.
Swiss Chard, Kale and Caribbean Spinach reseed every year in my yard. They are turning out to be my new weed, but I'm not complaining.
