Field Turnip
« on: December 05, 2020, 17:45 »
Talking to a farmer friend of ours the other day he asked me if i had been growing any turnips this year i told him they wasn't that great a bit of a failure

with a big grin on his face he said there's a field of them just down the lane help yourself its marvellous i grew my turnips in a raised bed all netted and ended up with turnips like marble's yet he's got a 15 acre field with turnips as big as large tennis balls with a very good flavour and not a net in sight are well you can't win um all  :blush:

It just goes to show you, if you talk nicely to you neighbors, all kinds of free produce may turn ip.
... I mean turn up.
