Turnips?

[chris]

I don't think I've ever eaten a turnip before... so I'm growing some. I was planning on either roasting, or steaming it - but wondered what you lot do with them? When would the best time to harvest be?

I've a couple just a bit larger than golf balls - they're purple milan. Really excited, as it'll be the first proper veg that I've grown from seed that we'll eat (other than leafy stuff).

Thanks!

I par boil then roast them, I am growing golden balls this year again as they are delicous and sweet.

When they're golf ball size, just grate them onto a salad

Once steamed they melt in your mouth and are yummy!

I like them diced with carrots. Add a bit of butter and a scrape of pepper. Delightful!

I have an Indian night coming up in two weeks and am planning on making Masala Shalgam with some.

I tend to eat mine about golf ballish sized, either steam them and eat with carrots or roast them whole. Either way they're very nice - my most advanced ones are only at seedling stage and the next row was only sown yesterday so I'll have to wait a while yet for mine
