overwintered veg growing again...

My parsnips which are still in the ground, have started to sprout again...
and my onions which were very small so I left them alone, also are growing again.
Anyone know if I should harvest now or what the likely result will be if I leave them another year?
Incidentally my potatoes are still fine in their bags and pots, where I forgot about them and didn't harvest them. Quite a nice surprise really!

    I don't know about parsnips or onions but I left a number of my carrots in the tub that I grew them in over winter and pulled them up about a month ago, expecting them to be useless, and they were great and extremely tasty!!

    If you leave the parsnips to grow they will flower and you can collect your own seed from them. Not sure about onions
