Part of my problem is limited space. Can't plant until something else dies of is harvested.

The other problem is Cabbage loopers, southern Army worms, thing like that.

The final problem is lack of interest by spouse and daughter. "What? Turnips? Ewww!"

In the time before refrigeration Turnips and Rutabagas were held in a higher regard in peoples imagination!

*** “What? Turnips? Ewww!”***

There was a time in my life where I couldn’t look at a green or red bell pepper without having nightmares. My family grew them as a means of having enough income to put food on the table. I swear we had bell peppers with nearly every meal (ok, we didn’t REALLY top our off-brand generic Cheerios with them, but we DID have them in with lunches and dinners, almost every day. Not kidding!)

So, if you regularly serve turnips daily, I can understand the response, because I’m sure I said , “What? Bell Peppers? Ewwww!”

;)
