When I was living in Europe the farmers would grow huge "beets" that they used for cattle feed in the winter. I think they were called Swedes. They store them in piles covered with hay then a foot or two of dirt.<br />Try Rutabagas! They are turnips with more flavor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-8365850509434420322011-01-18T22:54:01.633-06:002011-01-18T22:54:01.633-06:00To: Brigid

Delicious<br /><br />I love visiting the UP where you can still get traditional pasties in many local small "ma and pa" type restaurants.<br /><br />I've make them without the turnips and they're not as good. Good advice on the younger ones, however.Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.com
