Harvest

The harvest started in June.  These were the first pickings.  I water the lettuce, turnips and cucumbers daily so there is no bitter taste.   These turnips were very sweet and tender.  YUM!  Even the big giant one were good and no "wood" fiber.  This is the first year I have grown turnips and I think that I'll do it again.  So far I only like them fresh, but I bet I could find a recipe that I like somewhere.

This is the first cabbage for this year.  Just had to do a comparison shot.  It is HUGE!  Very tasty too.  Tender and sweet.  It is great for oriental salads and cole slaw.  It is pretty good by itself as well.  Love getting the vegies out of the garden.  They always taste sooo much better than from the store.

Those turnips look good, I've never had them really that I can remember.

I still need to use the half of the huge cabbage!
