Turnip Greens

Carmel, NY(Zone 6b)

Can these be cut/trimmed while the root is still forming, or will it cause growth issues? Those beauties sure look good enough to eat, but I don't want to harm the root.

I am growing Nabo de Santiago, 7-Tops, and Purple Top.

Thanks for any insight you can offfer!

Seven top you can cut anytime the leaf is big enoght to justify the efforts, roots are not edible anyway. Purple Top/White Globe pretty much the same. never saw them cut enoght to hamper root development. Of course I am growing them when it cools off in the fall. The roots don't develop well in hot weather. Never heard of the other one.

do you grow any mustard greens or Chard?

Carmel, NY(Zone 6b)

Never tried Mustard Greens, but I've got 3 Chards growing as we speak. (I grow those year 'round as they do well in a wide shallow container on the window sills.)
