Hi everyone,
I gleefully harvested my first swede on Saturday and turned it into carrot and swede mash to top a pie...but it's really bitter. I ended up adding some honey and it's still bitter.
Googling about I found out it's probably lack of water that's caused the bitterness. Is there anything I can do for the remaining swedes which are still in the ground? They are currently a bit bigger than a cricket ball. Can I just make sure they're well watered from now on, or are they doomed to bitterness?
I also wonder if I didn't take the first one too early anyway...it just looked so tempting.
Thanks,
LF
