Q.Parsnips
This season my parsnips have basically “come to nothing” with loads of offshoots off the top of each plant. It has been the same with my total parsnip crop. . . . VERY disappointing. Carrots have also been somewhat the same although not so many. What has happened/what have I done wrong. . . never had this problem in past years.

I would have your soil tested. It sounds like the soil may be lacking in phosphorous, which would result in poor root development in root vegetables.
