parsnips left in ground

I left my parsnips in the garden over the winter, but in the early spring I was ill, and unable to harvest them. Now they are tall, and I'm wondering if they are still good. What will happen to them if I just leave them through this growing season?

Woody parsnips left in ground

No good. They will flower and the roots will be woody. Pull them out.
