A question.....

Many root crops are biennials.

Are they good to eat if you get to them before they flower and go to seed? Or do they get woody and lost their taste?

My turnips are flowering right now and I’m not touching them, but my carrots have not yet started to flower. If they can still be harvested, I’ll do it.

Yes, you can harvest them when in bloom. Not sure if the quality will be the same, though.
