Thinning the Parsnips! (by sarah)
What was I thinking!
I went to water the veg patch about 2 hours ago, noticed how big the parsnips were, thought, I'll just do some wedding around them and some how ended up thinning them and transplanting the leftovers!
Now I have a nagging feeling that parsnips dont transplant very well so most of the effort may have been in vain 
Still next year we know to a)ignore the packet on how many to sow in a row and b) not to plant the radishes and salsify so near to the carrots and parsnips!
Still the garlic are taking root and I found a random mint plant in the patch - now if I can harvest it apropriatly it shouldnt take over and its a really nice tasting one too! (I'm not to hot on types of mint sorry guys!) That makes three types of mint I can locate in the garden now 
Also we have loads of wounderful wild strewberries!!! Yum yum yum
