You may get some greens before they seed, but turnip roots not likely. The seed stalks are a good substitute for broccoli raab.

I didn't know that! Great -- thanks!

Turnips are biennial, which means they produce flowers and seeds in their second year. Therefore, they must overwinter to produce seed.

The roots finished growing at the end of the first year. There will be no further growth of the roots. I don't know if they are still in edible condition after overwintering. They may be, if you dig them soon enough. You could find out by digging a few.

I did very well with bakers creek's 'red round turnip'

I've been getting fine turnip green harvests of recent. They taste better in the second year. The roots, as always, should be thrown to the goats. Misterbaby.
