I’ve got a stupid question.

I say turnip greens grow out of a turnip. My sis says they are two separate plants.

We have planted some turnip seeds and want to know what to expect.
thx

Turnip greens are a favorite vegetable in the South.
Cooks save the leaves of the tops of the turnip......and cook them, sometimes with bacon.

Karoo; You are correct! It is one plant, although you can harvest them before the turnip grows on the bottom and that may be what she is thinking.

There are a few turnip varieties that were selected to just grow leaves. But, most turnip greens come from the same plant as the rest of the turnip.
