Some might say otherwise but I thought I would mention it.There is nothing wrong with half-arsed, as that is my whole gardening concept and I still managed to grow food

Though having said all this, I did find a lovingly plastic-wrapped single parsnip in my local supermarket on Saturday – a first in my 18+years here! It’s now in my firdge.

They’re not the most attractive of plants. Strange that you can’t buy them – do the Dutch feed them to the pigs, like the French do?

It’s (almost literally) postage stamp size, in the Dutch manner, and my other half thinks 3 flowers look prettier than 3 vegetables.

If there’s a surfeit I’ll just make parsnip crisps out of them
Nick – can you not grow your own?
