That's one big turnip.
Even tho I didn't do a great job of thinning them - this project has still worked out.
The turnips situation has been working out very well. Remember that I planted them late in the summer for several reasons. First, I knew I wanted to improve the soil - turnips do a great job of that. Next, I could use them for fodder for the pigz. Last, I just love turnips! They are particularly good after a frost.
The last several mornings the dogs and I have gone and picked a bucket of huge turnips and then thrown them at the pigz. Everyone is happy.
Happy Saturday, everyone, are you still picking turnips?

Holy moly! Nice work.
Wow but your pigs are getting big. Plenty of bacon on them, of that I am sure!
Turnip mash! A few potatoes, turnips, boil 'em, mash 'em, add some milk and butter, spice with cloves and piemento, eat it with mustard and pork. Yum!
thanks Dave!
Vera we cannot WAIT for pigz. but gosh the forecast is all 50* so they might be really really big by the time we can butcher!
OneVG! yes! I love turnips-as-mashed.. i'll have to try with your spice combo. now just for some fresh pork! *looks at pigz....*
I love turnips sliced raw with a little salt....
Can you use turnips for chicken fodder too? Will the eat them? I plant them sometimes but never really know what to do but roast them. Cloves and pimento sound amazing!
