Turnip Harvest

I should probably do a little more research before I start growing new vegetables. I just now read that turnips are best eaten when golf-ball sized. So I tromped out to the garden and pulled most of them up, leaving a few to (maybe) overwinter and let go to seed. A good number of them were the ideal size. I separated those out to eat raw in salads or however it is you are supposed to eat turnips. I also filled a gallon size bag with the bigger ones, and those I plan to try mashed. The biggest turnip can be seen in the bunch to the left and was bigger than my fist.
