Ye olde turnips are outdoing themselves this this year. Of course the collards, kale, mustard , Broccoli, and cabbage did nicely too.

Beautiful turnip there!

What's your favorite recipe as I just usually use them in beef stew. Thanks :)

1.. sliced and diced and boiled with salt pork.
2. Used in place of cabbage in cabbage soup.
3. Diced and boiled with turnip greens.
4. Turnip puff
5. Turnip Gratin

There are a lot of ways to fix turnips, but some are not appetizing to me as I prefer simple. Just google turnip recipes

Farmer,

Nice turnip! Is it a purple top white globe? I didn't try any this fall, just a spring planting. Your's are clearly head and shoulders above what I raised!

Good looking cabbage. Which cultivar is it? I ask because we need cabbage pictures in the PGB.

Sorry, I'm not sure. I started some early jersey wakefield seeds and bought some 6 packs at Walmart, labeled "early cabbage". These are clearly not early jersey wakefield because they don't have wakefield's elegant cone shaped.

You're going to love it, it's amazing how sweet a cabbage gets after a few frosts! Next year most of my cabbage, as well as brocolli, gets planted in the fall.

The cabbage in the photo had freeze damage, but under some row cover I found a small lone wakefield cabbage. I harvested both and will eat them today. Cole slaw, probably.
