Well I have stopped watering my parsnips except the small ones which are not down enougth to fully stop. I have been watering from the bottom as these roots should be near the bottom of the pipe by now. I must say some are looking massive and by far the biggest Ive seen for this time of year since I started growing them. A good sign to look out for is that you cant find the top of the parsnip as it has pulled itself down so far. Mine are a good 8 inches down under the mix which hopefully means they are looking for the water and going downwards. A parsnip or carrot on top of the surface is a bad sign and normally you find the root has forked and forced itself upwards.
