Parsnips took the garden giant crown for the second year running; but this time not because of impressive height, but due to the size of the root. I could hardly believe how big this thing was when I dug it up. What’s more, it was a volunteer plant that had seeded itself from last year’s growth, so no work on our part was required – my favorite kind of gardening.
Oh, and it tasted good too, as soup and in a roasted vegetables dish.
