Can any parsnip experts help me. Some (only say 10%) of my parsnips show a brown colouration; if cut in half lengthwise
it can be seen mostly at the boundary of the "core" and the
surrounding flesh, seeming to radiate outwards. It does not appear rotten, no difference in texture (or aroma) from the surrounding flesh. They are variety "Gladiator".
Any ideas ?

Hi Tony,
In the December(28th)editon of the Garden News, Medwyn Williams goes into detail about a problem he has had with his parsnips,he belive's that PYTHIUM VIOLAE is the cause.
If you want to PM me with your home address I will photo copy the article and send it to you, I can't type it all as it is far to long.
Hope this is of some help.
