I have been growing and showing veg since 1996, a brilliant hobby contrary to popular belief and the views of my mates who think I’m a big poof (I’ve got nothing against poofs however!). This is just a chart of my progress for the 2017 season, if you have any specific questions about ‘showing’ then email me on smithyveg@aol.com and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Even better than last year
As I was totally and utterly brilliant last year with my parsnips 'Pinnacle' I was hoping to build on it this year and I haven't been disappointed. The foliage is way bigger than it was at the same stage last season with really thick stems so it should be hiding some whopping specimens below. There is no way these can be watered from above as the foliage is too dense but when they look this good it proves there is no need. The tap root is now well down into the sand and drawing on the moisture deep down. If the roots are as clean as they were last season I'm confident of a few red cards with these come August & September.
