Hi, I planted turnips about 6 weeks ago, and they're growing well. The Hakurei Hybrid, white topped turnips are growing much faster than purple topped ones. Since I never tasted turnips, I tried one of the white top ones, although they don't look fully grown. It's about less than 2 inches in width. Outside was crisp, but the inside center part was rather soft. Almost to the point of mushy... but it wasn't totally mushy. I didn't like this softness. The crisp outside was good. Is this what turnips are suppose to be like? Or will the core be crisper when grown more? Will the purple turnips also have this softness?

Thanks.
