TURNIPS

We had hoped for a large garden this year. CY put a lot of new dirt on the area that had been taken from the pond. BIG MISTAKE The dirt was sandy and dried out as hard as a rock....We had a fair amount of turnip greens but then the bugs, weather and soil condition did them in. Next came the decision to mow the greens down, fertilize, poision for worms and allow to regrow. As we mowed, we noticed that the turnips were being pulled from the ground so we harvested all that we could and had a delicious few meals from the results. This fall MAJOR conditioning of the soil will be done.
