Last of the Parsnips

Today I pulled up the last of my parsnips. After seeing the tops die back over the winter to show nothing on the surface, I noticed last week that I was seeing new shoots above the topsoil. I figured this meant that it was time to pull them up and have one last parsnip feast. It's weird how some of them were really large but others were diddy, almost like a baby carrot. I wonder if they were starting to go to seed? ....Well, they are out now!
