How big is your family, Jal_UT? What do you do with your extras? You're bound to have extras, as productive as your garden is :lol:

Mine do not look quite that good but I love turnip roots, and picked some yesterday.

Long Story Short: My mom and dad used to plant a great bed of purple top turnips and mustard greens. The patch would make some great turnip roots. I also have planted them but did not plant any at my home this year, and my mom has not planted any in years, but she can cook some mean turnips.

I did plant 10 lbs of purple tops, however, in on of my deer food plots. The deer have enjoyed them all fall and winter, and these guys have too

I sent this picture to my mom who lives near the land where I hunt. She emailed me back to say "If there are some turnips in that patch, I want some" So, yesterday she and I drove over to the field to check it out, and picture two sack full of nice turnip roots.

The deer, the turkey, my mom and I are enjoying the turnips
