Harvesting Kanamachi Turnips

Vegetable gardening

This week was enjoyable since we got to eat some delicious fresh turnips and greens from the garden. The secret to delicious turnips is to peel the skin off of them before cooking. The Kanamachi variety is very tender and sweet so I highly recommend these turnips I purchased from Kitazawa seed company.
