We just dug these beautiful parsnips out of the ground this weekend. They have been living quite happily for the last 5 months under about 4 feet of snow. I had heard a rumor that parsnips could "winter over" in the garden, but somehow I never quite believed it. And they were delicious, and so sweet that they were almost sticky once they were cooked, even though I only roasted them in a little olive oil and salt. Amazing. And what a treat to dig something fresh out of the garden at this time of year! I had forgotten how much more flavor home grown vegetables have than their store-bought counterparts. I definitely plan to repeat, and increase this beauty of a crop this coming gardening season!
you can do it with carrots too!
