  • mature turnips

    any good suggestions? I have a few large ones still in the ground. We fried up the young ones and they were lovely, roasted some and they were nice, but the last liftings were a bit bitter

    I'm a seedaholic so I'd be inclined to store them until spring and replant them and try to get some seeds off them. Which variety are they?

      smart ass answer but about all old turnips are good for is feeding to cattle and horses, slow roasting whole will maximise any sweetness

        bother, I feared as much. what's annoying is that they are only just too bitter, so if I'd lifted them a few weeks earlier, they'd have probably been ok.

        Don't know what variety they are off the top of my head (Whatever Mr Fothergill was flogging last year I think).

        so if I feed them to my livestock do I get clever donkeys?

          if it is only marginal then try some slow roasted whole and see what you think, worth a try

            I'll give it a go. I have nothing to lose...

              If slow roasting doesn’t do the trick, I’d be inclined to put them in compost. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone who keeps animals....

                  Big turnips aren't great, not much you can do with them now, they're at their best in the summer or early autumn

                  Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                  Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                    In a minor victory, I have discovered that the ones that have remained small (failure to thin) still taste nice. So I'm going to try and deliberately plant them in clumps this year.
