By the way, Happy National Rutabaga Month, and today is National Farm Joke Day
"So many people confuse rutabagas with turnips. They're not alike at all. Rutabagas have a pleasant yellow-orange color, large friendly-looking leaves, and a smooth dense texture. Turnips are fish-belly white and purple on top like a bad bruise and have hairy leaves and taste brackish, like swamp water. Rutabagas are the root crop that any sensible person would prefer." Garrison Keillor

I had no clue that rutabagas are in essence a better turnip. That is great to know, thanks for passing it along. I had some turnip this week and it was edible, but not entirely pleasant. I will try a rutabaga next time I can.
Rutabagas are tasty and rule, tkn, though turnip greens are awesome with some butter and salt. Maybe it's the soil where I try to grow these root foods, but up here in the drenched part of the country it's hard to successfully grow stuff that exists in a continually sodden environment.
Awesome post. Love the totally random stuff.
The oddball stuff slacks off in the wintertime for some reason.
