Had a packet of seeds, free from somewhere or other so sowed them on a
waste bit of soil in the veg. Beds. For the first time ever I have lots
of really lovely turnips , not too large a bit of flea beetle on leaf
but roots are lovely. Never thought of growing these but have used them
in salads and casserole and they really are nice!
Didn't pay much attention to them at all,
Wonders will never cease....

Not to worry if you can't, but thanks for checking.

What colour are they? We did some 'snowball' one year which were
(obviously, perhaps!) white, but they were totally eaten by anything that
went near them, so we didn't get very much edible produce.

They are very similar to Swede colouring, white/cream with a faint touch
of purple at top. They really have been wonderful this year, not a bit
woody and size of large beetroot, well that's when i am using them. Flea
bitten leaves though ...............
