parsnip competition

Well my mate who has challenged my to grow the longest parsnip is in for a suprise. He regularly checks to see how mine is doing in the piping outside but I think he has forgot about the ones in the polytunnel.
These are twice the size of his so im going to have to stop him from seeing them otherwise they may be assassinated!!!!! Oh the fun of it all, we like a little kids lol.

Have I planted too early !!!!

Well ive got most of my crops out now including the frost sensitive ones.
Fingers crossed we wont see another frost this year, but sods law says we will.
Been picking loads of radishes over the last few weeks and really recommend the white ones shaped like carrots, the have a nice kick to them.
Ive also got lettuce, turnip and carrots ready for picking in the polytunnel, I think im the earliest on the allotment site to be reaping these rewards (head swelling)
Ive also decided to get rid of my grassed paths as I just dont have time to cut them, plus my stimmer has sprung a leak on the fuel pipe and I cant be arsed to fix it !
Ive planted loads of broccolli this year, I hope everybody likes it cos I think we will be having it every meal !!!!
