I don't know where I got these, probably Pine Tree, because there weren't very many. Kitazawa also carries them. Fall 2015, they germinated, but didn't grow. (Probably dried out). I just ate some from this fall. They are really pretty, round white roots, and a nice flavor, even raw. (They are "salad" turnips. I wanted Hakurei, but couldn't find them where I was ordering other things, so I got these.) If I was a market gardener, I would grow these, because they are smooth, blemish free, thin skinned and tasty. They bulb above soil level, so they are clean. At least the roots are tasty, I have had some raw and some sauted in butter. I don't like turnip greens. You cannot cook turnip greens enough to make them edible. Maybe buried in ranch dressing, but I can't do dairy any more, so that is out. I just don't like turnip greens. DH does. The chickens do. Me, no. These are extra early 35 DTM. They are meant to be picked at about 2" diameter. I had some bigger, and they were not woody. Of course turnips are daylight sensitive, so in spring they might get woody, but the short DTM might work for spring.

My purple top turnips are long and skinny like icicle radishes. I don't get it, they were planted about the same time ad the others.
