Just Picked - Purple Top Turnips

Purple Top Turnips

Drove out to the farm yesterday to rescue my italian parsley plants before Rick tills the fields under to get ready for our spring planting.  The parsley took so long last year to even come up, I wasn't about to have to wait another 90 days starting from seed.

During my rescue mission, I found the turnips to be of pretty good size too - in fact some were huge! 

I'm going to cook some up - don't think I'll do the leaves although they are edible.   My first turnips for the season!

I will be taking the rest of them to Cowboy Trail Farm so if you've got hankering for turnips - head on over this Saturday or check the Springs Preserve Farmers market on Thursday.
