Shantell PowellI'm wearing my snazzy lobster flip flops to do some gardening. Time to plant some tomatoes. #gardening #lobster #fashion
Gonna have a bumper crop of parsnip. This planter is tricky to grow most vegetables in. It gets sun in the spring, but the trees overhead shade it too much for most veggies in the summer. After a lot of experimentation, I discovered parsnips are happy here. There is one end of the planter that does get sun, and that's where I'm growing tomatillos this year. #gardening #parsnips
Oh look! Apparently parsnip greens are good to eat. I never knew. https://cookindocs.com/parsnip-tops-recipe/ #parsnip #greens #recipes
HumToTable@Shanmonster Dang! Those are some happy, healthy parsnips.
@HumToTable yes! They've been self-seeding. They're trying to take over my yard.
Youngtounces@Shanmonster love the yard micro climate experience share. I have similar situation with that seasonal sun shift when neighbors trees leaf out, was going to give up the bed, but I’ll give parsnips a try!
@Youngtounces good luck!
👩🦯The Blind Fraggle@Shanmonster I love parsnips! Not many people I know do.
@Fragglemuppet I never liked them until I finally had them cooked a way which appeals to me. I don't like them just boiled to mush. But they're lovely roasted or made into parsnip/pear soup.
@Shanmonster Roasted is good, or in a potroast.
