Yeah ! I know , but I am preaching to the choir !
Some folks are just starting out, and looking for just a little assistance
and success breeds more success, or a willingness to experiment
and that success leads to larger gardens and more experimentation on crops with which they are unfamiliar.
My experiment this year is celeriac, salsify and parsnips
as well as the 'Guerilla garden'.

Well, maybe just introduce the additional information to say you are expanding on the topic? That way I know that you know that I know the info? LOL

Let me know about your parsnips please. I have tried them twice here in Texas but concluded our heat is too much for them. They are an item that my husband misses from his youth in Maine. I tried them as a fall crop in a healthy deep bed. The first year we had extreme heat into November and I couldn’t keep the foliage cool. The second year they grew but there just wasn’t enough root to be a parsnip.

They are something we rarely find in the store here. If I do find them it’s on a trip I’ve made to the city. I am allergic to white potatoes and they make a very good substitute for me.
