By digging them up you can look for best shape roots like the ones in the photo, the rest are what eaten.I don't know if it makes any difference if you replant in rich or poor,try it out and report back i wouldn't mind knowing also.
I normally aim to get 50 parsnips for a seed block,any less is ok for a season or two but not over the long term because of genetic bottlenecking
A trick ive learnt this season about growing parsnips,as a seed grower of the Hollow Crown variety i normally sow the bed thats used in the selection in late Aug/early Sep,i like to sow early so the most desirable of the plants show up better than if i was to plant them later.The whole bed is dug up mid winter the best plants replanted ,by mid summer the selected parsnips are producing seed of which some of it tends to blow about the garden ending up growing,ive found that these parsnips are even though rather small tend to be sweeter than the larger ones from the seed block.
So from now on i will be sowing a bed of parsnips for eating only in mid summer.
