Turnip
The greens are tasty too! (Planting them this weekend.)

They are big...bigger than a softball. And the actual plant gets huge...at least 2-3 feet across.
Once, Steve was out in the front yard pulling sand burrs and I pulled up a huge rutabaga, leaves and all and chunked it over the fence at him. It landed about 4 feet away from him and he didn't see it coming. It was like it came outta nowhere! Like a meteor or something! He jumped a foot and then looked up to see me grinning at him over the fence! LOL
I boiled it and we had it like a mashed potatoe that night with pork chops and gravy.
