Hi All,

Got me a forest of Golden Globe Turnips growing in
the garden:

Tried eating one of the leaves a week ago. Hmmmm.
Okay. Interesting tastes. I can see where all
the remarks about feeding turnips greens to livestock
come from. One of those run your tongue under
a hose for five minutes and then try to ignore the
after taste experiences. Oh my!

If I can not figure out a way to make the greens
palatable (I have a post on a cooking group on
that subject), what to do with them? Hold them till
the end of the season and dig them under? Trash can?

Many thanks,

My friend's iguana absolutely loved that sort of green. She (the iguana,
not my friend) was getting up toward 6 feet the last time I saw her so they
must be pretty nutritious regardless of the taste.

Lacking an bunch of animals to eat them, composting always works.
