My husband and i are older and not really able to garden now. We buy from the amish close to home. Glad ur teaching so many cause its a great tool and going to be a life or death need in the world we find ourselves in now. That is ,is if want to eat healthy and good.

    Oh man! When I grow them, I put them up the same way, Duke. I do that with "beggie" greens as well (Rutabaga). They taste the same to me. I like them with salt/pepper/butter........and a dash of cider vinegar. Both get too much stem on them, so your girls idea is great. I believe it would save a pile of tedious trim work!

    New sub. love your channel.
    When I was about five or six years old, I was down at the farm with my Dad, and I remember I was "swimming" in the trough, which was about six foot diameter and two feet deep, filled with algae and the water from that well had a high sulfur content, but I thought it was pretty neat. Anyway, he had gone out to Peepaw's garden and pulled up a turnip and was cutting off chunks of it and eating it. I tried it, but it was too peppery for me. Now, fast forward 65 years or so, and just yesterday, the wife and I were at the local open air market and I picked up two bunches of turnips. They were early turnips cuz the leaves were still really small and so were the turnips - not those bit ole five inch around things.
    Got home, put the greens to cook and boiled the turnips along with some russets and red potatoes. Wife thought the greens were overcooked, but they melted in the mouth, like butter. And, I cooked stems and all, but I suppose since they were young greens, the stems hadn't really toughened up, though. Anyway, looking forward to planting turnips this year. Last year's garden was a disaster - massive heat, but due to my auto-watering system, bugs and weeds killed everything out. 😪😪😪😪
