They're a little better now, but I do everything I can to keep them at bay.

Here the voles haven't taken hold. We do have about 6 cats that regularly visit the garden, but since my daughter's dog is here now they seem to visit less frequently. Which is both good and bad.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-38161483691904803622013-11-05T04:35:37.256-08:002013-11-05T04:35:37.256-08:00Thanks Rachel!

I debated leaving mine in the ground too, but the only other year I tried parsnips the voles ate most of them, so I didn't want to take the chance this time around.nutmeg gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497061826533988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-20881951897101586582013-11-04T16:40:58.247-08:002013-11-04T16:40:58.247-08:00Good looking parsnips, 15 pounds, great harvest.

It looks like this batch was planted in an area infested with root knot nematodes :-( I think I'm going to give up trying to grow them in the future, as this year's crop just wasn't worth the trouble it was to plant and grow.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
