I grow organic food (when the slugs and snails let me!) in my back garden and my work allotment in South Birmingham. I experiment with heritage varieties, unusual edibles and growing from saved seed. I make things too, mostly in winter and mainly with crochet and I'm learning to sew dresses and follow patterns with some help from my sewing club friends.

My turnips have gone to seed - Post 2!
On 24th of June I wrote a post about my turnips going to seed. I had two options, eat the flowers a la broccoli style (or in a raw salad style) but partly through laziness and partly through curiosity I allowed them to go fully to seed. I knew from last year that radishes make wonderful seed pods.
Yesterday, I tasted some seed pods and they taste like fresh baby turnips - I will definitely be adding these to my fresh salads. However, don't leave them on the plant too long or they can go a bit bitter.
