I've got a good crop of swede (Virtue) from my first sowing, and have been enjoying them for a couple of weeks. The larger ones are around 4 inches + in diameter, taste good but slightly woody in places.
As I understand it, for later croppings as winter approaches they can be left in the ground until wanted. Can I do the same now, or will they keep growing and turn inedible? If I do lift them now will a plastic tub filled with old compost from last years' tomato growbags be suitable to store them in? I've heard doing this with sand works.
