| timefor I always use the big red raddishes instead of swede, ie mashed with carrot or in pasties and find they are very tasty. As for sprouts and parsnips - only around Xmas time. Maybe you could plant your own parsnips as I know they grow here but the sprouts do need frost to make them taste nicer. |

| Supreme had fresh sprouts a couple of weeks ago and they looked quite nice. Never seen parsnips or swede, unfortunately. |

| I can confirm msg 7- they had fresh sprouts outside supreme last week.Have you tried Colokos as a swede replacement-They are not dissimilar, and make great oven chips-A little like sweet potatoes. |
