Wondering aloud if anyone south of Memphis/Dallas/Santa Fe has grown parsnips as a late summer/fall crop. Any tips/tricks with those? I hope to plant them next week and harvest late this fall or early winter after a couple really hard freezes.

Sounds feasible to me, but I have no experience with such.

Not sure how parsnips grow in your area, but up here they’re kind of slow-growing. They’re the kind of thing you plant early and harvest late.

Beets might do better as a late crop.
