Hi there, I have some turnips over-wintering in the polytunnel. I assume the turnips won't come to much now, but the tops are growing really well! Do they make good eating? Can I use them as 'greens' ?

Any suggestions very welcome

Always used to as a child in the 50s and 60s. As I recall, they were quite strongly flavoured, rather like kale
