They didn't touch the turnips or radishes.

Note to future self: after first frost, protect remaining greens with wire mesh, etc.

White German Beer Radishes

Pulled on Nov 3rd. I didn't know what size to expect. The bodies were about 3" long (not including the tap root, and about 2" across. Brought them to Rick who said the ones he's used to in Bavaria were about three times the size. These were healthy but small.

These were planted in the same area as the onions, which were heavy feeders. Will make sure to amend the soil more heavily next time, as well as start earlier in the season.

Turnips Rock!

The turnips were FABULOUS! Peeled 'em, cut them up like fries, and baked them. Flavor like a cross between sweet corn and sweet broccoli. Gave 2 to Kuehns, kept the rest for us. Havested between Oct 16 and Nov 01.
