A parsnip budding for second season seeding I believe. (lemmynsfw.com)

It’s my understanding that a bunch of root vegetables like carrots, daikons, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, etc. all grow their first year to store energy for the second years seeding.

Parsnips and turnips/rutabaga iirc say to harvest after a frost or two to sweeten them up, so I missed a bunch.

Makes sense, these were just too densely planted and never thinned, they were hiding in my sunflowers as a companion crop.

Thought I had some serious deweeding to start, but I just cut them with the hoe and it should be fine to top up and plant on top.
