Huge Swede!
« on: July 06, 2009, 12:37 »
Not sure what is going on here!

I have only grown a few swede in my small raised bed but one of them is huge...............looking ready to eat.

Just checked and the packet says harvest in November! What should I be doing? Pull it up now or leave in the ground? Do they get more flavour if left? :unsure:

keep an eye on it - sometimes they look OK but start to rot from the centre outwards
