Turnips!
We interrupt our World Cup coverage to bring you this fantastic development: baby turnips!
I haven't been spending enough time in the garden lately between the Home Improvement and soccer and that job thing I have.
After my 6am to 2pm stint in front of the TV I decided the best thing for me would be to get my ass outside and work on the weed farm.
I remember planting a bunch of greens, a few turnips (from an untried type-previous attempts to grow turnips have resulted in wormy plooey) and some beets. I wondered why all my lettuce looked so ooky.
This afternoon I poked around out there and what do you know? Beautiful little white turnips. My favorite food. (Outside of the sugar, fat and alcohol groups). I'm so pleased.
