Yes turnips or perhaps swedes (not Swedes). Other than stock feed the only
reason to grow them is to get something fresh when it is very cold and not
much else will grow. SWMBO puts them in winter soup, luckily there are many
other things in there and you don't notice. Thinly sliced in salad - well
you would have to be desperate.

two different turnip types. swedes are
rutabagas are orangy/yellow pale color.
some people raise them for animal feed too
i grow most of them here for worm food (as
a soil cover crop).

some people like the greens. (wonder how
Derald is doing down there in FL with all the
recent rains...?)

i like them better than potatoes if they
are going to be cooked. haven't tried them
pickled, fermented (kraut) or raw yet. not
in any hurry...
