Re: Parsnip sap a reminder.
Exactly why I got anxious when neighbour stopped working his plot & left all his parsnips in, which in turn flowered & self seeded everywhere. I looked very glamorous covered head to toe with any old stuff I could find in the shed holding the hoe by the tip knocking his monsters down near t...
