Is it worth it to grow parsnips in Hawaii?
We don't have a frost here. If I grow parsnips, will they taste ok? Or should I not try at all? Can I dig up the parsnips and place them in the refrigerator to simulate a frost? Thanks!

Far as I am concerned Brussles sprouts should be grown as weeds. Throw the seed out along the freeway and let it grow how it will. Even if they succeed, its a waste of time.Howzit Fallin! Have you tried growing brussels sprouts? That was a disaster! ha ha ha
Oh, sorry, the question was about parsmips. I say give it a whirl. We learn to do by doing.

I think you should mail me two tickets to Hawaii so I can help with your experiment.

A plant that is still in the ground releases protective sugars when subject to cold, not sure this can be replicated by refrigeration or freezing.‣ A frost can occur anywhere from 36 F to 32 F. A light freeze refers to temperatures between
28 F and 31 F, a moderate freeze between 24 F and 28 F, and severe freeze below 24 F.
