They are just different. The name turnip doesn’t really describe them. If you want a turnip go for purple top milans. If you want something to go in your peanut butter sarni choose oasis 

I grow them under cover so dont have caterpillar problems. Ants can be a problem but it has  only ever been cosmetic.

Just picked up a pack of 'oasis turnip' seeds, anybody tried them? Apparentely can be eaten raw like an apple or grated so they taste like melon, interesting 

We tried these several years ago, never again. I am back to purple top milans and that is where i will stay from now on. 

Agree with you about milans BQ. Pulled the 1st of the spring sowings yesterday - had forgotten how wonderful fresh turnip smells! Also grown some goldina - pulled 1st one today. Milder turnip taste than the milan but the greens are much less 'bitter'. Going to sow both for autumn.
