Swede

[Wren]

My April sown swede are now the shape of a small butternut squash and i am hoping they will fill out some more to harvest in September.
This is the first time i have grown swede so i am assuming i am on track
The verity i am growing is 'Ruby'.

So how are your swede's doing? What stage are they at?

Planted mine out within the last week or so. Variety helinor. They should have gone out *lots* earlier but I was waiting for space! The top of the roots has that characteristic purpliness but I can't say I have noticed anything else swedey about them yet.

Planted mine out early after growing them in trays and have been eating them for about 2 weeks now.
They are about six inches across.

mine were sown in april and are no bigger than carrots. they are in raised beds maybe the soil was too loose for them.

Mine were sown about 2/3 months ago and some planted out - some put in a seed bed - ie held back - until I had space. So, I've got a load all at different stages. None ready yet though.
