HI Bob

Busy, busy, busy!

Wondering is there a reason to hang the parsnips after you pick them? Or was it for photographic reasons...or perhaps to spray them off.

I love parsnips. I have found memories from childhood of my mom putting them into our fall soups. Hmmm, I am going to call my Knight and ask him to grab some from the farm stand on the way home.

thanks Bob!

The only reason I hung up the Parsnip was to take a picture of it.
