Potatoes

If your seed potatoes are large, you can split in two.

Check where the chits are, cut so some on both halves, dab each cut section in ash or salt to seal and so get two regular sized seed potatoes for one large!

Parsnips

Why parsnips go brown at the top?

Online research suggested it was a fungal infection caused by water logged soil. Still edible once brown(ed) areas cut out.
