never grown turnips before, they've gotten pretty big. At what point should I pick. golfball? baseball?

I will start on them at golfball size. They will get much bigger as time passes.

We mostly just harvest the tops, but follow Jal_ut's method to harvest roots.

Hello, We grow Purple top. I wouldnt let them get any larger than a soft ball as they tend to get woody. :D
