Feral Parsnips stand tall in the roadside vegetable garden.
Two nights without the Peckerheads trashing the garden. First it was thunder and lightning and falling water that drove them away, then it got cold, fifty four for the low.
Okra likes hot. Now they all have about seventy five days to get some fine produce on. Time to get busy and grow.

Hi Christopher: Hope you are well. We are enjoying this cool spat of weather after a lovely rainstorm as we slide into summer. I can't believe that we're one week away from July. Your feral parsnips are rather beautiful; that sunny yellow is pleasing to the eye. I am somewhat embarrassed to say that I had to go online to see what a parsnip looked like; and, I have never eaten one. What does it taste like? I should probably try some? Gypsy
Gypsy parsnips are good. They are like a cross between a carrot and a potato. White carrot like roots that have a starchy texture and a good hint of sweet when harvested at the right time - after a few frosts. Versatile too. They can be mashed, boiled and baked.
