Oh, so by harvest time the tops are dead? That could make a big difference.
Personally the only thing I really use parsley leaves for is roasting chicken on top of and throwing into stock, just like I use carrot tops, so it doesnβt have to be the primo quality kind.
Parsley roots are definitely not as big, but I think theyβre pretty comparable flavor to parsnips and enjoyable.
Yes. The tops are dead by harvest. Parsnips taste best after a few freezes. Itβs been a mild fall this year in the pnw. we have had a couple of frosts but no real freeze which produces all the sugars that you want. I might harvest a few anyways. I love mashed parsnips.
