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,

SOUP... beans.. ham hocks.. lotsa veggies, spices, herbs, seasonings.
