    Amazing! What do you do with them? I grow turnips but they never get to that size, I don't think our summer is warm and long enough! Fabulous.

    OMGosh... I thought I had grown the ultimate turnips, which were huge. But those are much, much larger! Patches seems to be enjoying them. Personally, I can't stand them. But I do like the greens! :stew1:

    I don't like to eat them either but my hubby does.we had to stop patches from eating them because we were afraid he would eat too much and get sick. He didn't want to stop.

    I have never seen any that large! What a green thumb he has, what helped them? or is that a secret..I have never ate one but I know those are big from seeing the smaller ones.
