Big Parsnip


Oh there are no limits to Art. The juxtaposition of a huge Parsnip, a freak, against a fatuous media headliner.

Well the Parsnip weighs 950 grams! Its diameter has a maximum of 14.4 cm, and a maximum circumference of 41cm.

It was a freak! It was hiding under the soil, looking like a modest example of its neighbours, none of which were nearly as big. It would be a showpiece except that you can see by its bruise that I have pulled it a bit late.

Global Financial Crisis? Bah, Humbug! Merry Christmas, Tiny Tim! 'Ere, have yourslef a Parsnip, if there's no goose this Xmas.
