So not long ago I decided to start growing turnips. Not knowing what a turnip actually tasted like. I'm sure I've eaten them sometime earlier in my lifetime but no knowingly or they didn't make that much of a impression on me. I chose to grow turnips because it was on my list of winter crops and I like to experiment with growing new fruits and veggies. I was really surprised to see how quickly and easily they grew with very little work. I also learned that I bunched too closely together. I often plant too many seeds in an effort to make sure my crop is viable. In the future I know not to plant so close together. The first few turnips I grew I gave away to friends. Some were eager to receive while others weren't so keen on the weird veggies. I neglected to pick some for a week or two and then while weeding the other day noticed that I have some ready for harvest. Above is the picture of them after harvesting. I decided it was time to actually try them in dinne
