  1. I have my turnips very close together, like multisown beets., much closer than in your video. Will they bulb up like the way beets will when grown closely?

  3. Now I have to buy purple top turnip seeds!! I have many radishes planted, and I am so anxious for them to be ready to harvest . I have a lack of patience. Lol 😂

  4. Hi Gary,

    The other day, I posted a harvest picture on your FaceBook page showing my 5/25/25 morning harvest, two ginormous heads of cauliflower, a bunch of snow peas, and large Banana peppers. It raised some questions. Mainly, how in the hell is that possible? I don’t know, just do it. And this year was unseasonably warm. I had a problem with mustard, broccoli, and Pak Choi bolting. I’ve never had mustard and Pak Choi bolt in April.

    In a few days, I will have another head of cauliflower ready to harvest. I think I’ll pick some nice red ½ pound Jolene slicer tomatoes to go with it. The tease value will be well worth the hate I’ll get from posting pictures of it. LOL. In my area, people are just getting started with their gardens, and planting tomato transplants, and here I am, already picking tomatoes. Of course, my goal was to bring in my tomato harvest before the summer heat hits.

    I planted more zucchini, and as I make more room, I have more ready to transplant. I also need to check on my carrots and parsnips. They should be ready any day. They are between 80-90 days, and may be ready now. As soon as my parsnip and carrot beds are empty, it will be bean planting time, Yellow Wax, and Blue Lake.

  5. First time I have seen a video on this and I plant both of these mostly for the greens. This is the 1st year I planted radish appropriately spaced and I got radishes! I was so surprised. What I don't understand is the radishes seemed to have air pockets in them so when I bite into them, it wasn't solid. Any clue on why? (Too much rain? Fertilizer? Variety of radish?)

  6. When in August would you plant for a fall crop of Turnips? I love your videos. I learn a lot thank you for posting them.

  7. Turnips are so beautiful. I like them oven roasted but I bet they’d make a good slaw too. Radishes are delicious oven roasted too. They turn sweeter and drop the spiciness. I love pickling them too, it’s a great condiment.

  8. I've been enjoying those icicle radishes this year, great grower. My daughter calls them "ghost carrots"…
