I've got holes appearing in the veg beds as stuff is being pulled up and eaten. Is there anything that can be put in now - maybe not to be eaten for quite a while?

Turnips! Why didn't I think of those Thelma? Thank you I've heard a phrase "If all else fails - grow turnips!" So, I think I will - not that all else has failed! Any suggestions on a variety you've tried?

Thank you Darcy, that's really kind. Is there anything you want to swap for them? I've just got some Dill off the front of a magazine if you'd like some?

No its fine honestly I could pop them in the post next day tomorrow morning if you like?
If you want to take me up on the offer just pm me your details and consider it done rather post them to a grape than go out of date there only so much turnip you can eat

Don't forget that you can eat turnip leaves too. I sow them thickly, just for the leaves

I'm growing Milan Purpletop (or something like that) and I found out by accident that they were edible!!
There was a thread on here about how difficult it was to obtain turnip leaves to feed lizards so I set out to see if they were easy to grow (you know me!!). Scattered seeds thickly in an old drawer, they came up very quickly, then I decided that if lizards could eat them, so could I. They're not hairy or bristly (maybe just this sort?) and they're great in salad and stirfry Give it a go - or at least eat the thinnings
