Man I was crying when I saw you discarding the turnip green tops! I love both tops and bottoms. Wife makes “turnip green soup” and puts in freezer for those cold days & nights. The bottoms she cuts as if they were potatoes going into soup, and they are sooooooo good. If you’d like the recipe let me know it is sooooo easy to make and can’t be beaten for good soup anytime but really in winter. I will leave the recipe here for y’all and your subs that might want to try. I will be in next comment. God Bless and wish we lived closer to y’all. But we are in Central Louisiana pretty good drive to Florida.
Amen..nothing I love more than cooked turnip greens with salt/lemon pepper/garlic/spicy pepper and chicken stock since I'm allergic to red meat..when I wasn't I used country ham😀😀😀😀
@@laurarowland7926 that sounds good. Ive never had collards or turnip greens before so I'd like to try this sometime.
I have seeds from the dollar store so I'm watching this to find out if I can eat the greens now I know there's recipes like soups send me the recipe 😅
@@pricklypear7934 if you’d like to have the recipe for Turnip Green Soup PM me and I’ll send to you. It is a very easy recipe and delicious!
@@alexandermonzon8165 you most definitely able to eat the tops. They even sell both tops and bottoms of this great plant in our grocery stores here in the US.
Howdy from Yuma, Arizona. I also LOVE turnips and I could eat them just by themselves without the greens; just boil them up with some salt and butter.. I also enjoy Greens - Turnip;, Collard, Mustard and I make mine in the Slow Cooker / Crock Pot. DON'T forget the Cornbread & Louisiana Hot Sauce!!!!! Thank you for sharing.
They're also really good cubed and roasted in the oven, it gives them a nice sweet flavor. I also like to fry them like potatoes with a little onion thrown in.
I have to try frying them
Oh man, I would gladly take all the greens! Awesome harvest! ❤️
Boiled with pork, served with butter & or pepper vinegar!
Smoked turkey wings with turnip
Greens and the roots
Turnip is great cooked with potatoes. Cut all the same size and mash together with salt pepper and butter.
They are also great in a boil dinner. In a huge pot put one ham butt, cabbage, turnips, carrots, potatoes, and onions. Cover with water boil until the vegetables are done the ham is already cooked so you are just heating it through. Serve with butter, pepper, and vinegar for the cabbage if someone want. No salt needed the salt from the ham flavors everything. This make several meals. After eating a few times strain the juice but don't through it away use half to cook greatnotheren beans with some of the ham and new onions it is also delicious. The vegetables cut up with some of the ham to make red flannel hash for a hearty breakfast. When your total sick of it freeze the left overs for another time. In the meantime take the ham bone and the rest of the ham and juice to make pea soup. Bring juice up to a boil add a couple of cloves of garlic two bay leaves new onions, and dryed green peas. Cook until peas basically disintegrate then add your chunks of ham in continue to cook until the ham is just warm through. We New Englanders don't waste anything. This is great when you are have a lot of family or friends over for dinner. Easy prep and forget until vegetables are done. No fuss recipes.
Wow, thanks for the cooking tips Cynthia!
Thanks for sharing. Sounds so tasty!!!❤️
My grandma used to make turnips like that when I was a child and I really enjoyed their earthy flavor. Delish 😋!!
My goodness Hollis! That music while putting in rows is great!!!
Such a precious show y'all make Hollis. And giving all glory to God just takes you over the top!
Y'all have a BLESSED DAY!
Ya hear?
Why don’t more TH-camrs show this kind of Incremental progress? Beautiful video! Thank you
Id never tried these a few years ago, and had no idea what to do with them, so I baked it like a jacket potato amd stuffed it with cheese, covered it in baked beans. That was the best idea I've ever had!
Cut the roots into one inch cubes and boil until tender. Season to your taste. Make a cheese sauce as you would for broccoli and add to the drained turnips. So good! You can also use a sauce on tender onions and it is especially good.
I’ve really been enjoying the seed to harvest videos , great job. Thanks
Turnips Really compliment a beef stew!! I Love'em! ❤️
Nancy, What are ways to preserve or make something so you can have them last a long time? We really miss your cooking segments....every recipe we have tried has been outstanding.
I live in Wisconsin, we love Johnny's seed and have been using them for over 35 years.
Turnips are sooo delicious with the greens themselves!
My chickens also love turnip greens!
Black Kow is the best fertilizer, it’s hard for me to plant without it. Best stuff I have ever used.
Thank you and Mrs Nancy for your videos
We love turnip roots as well as rutabaga's made into fries, spray with pan spray and add creole seasoning and roast in the air fryer. Hubby never liked rutabagas until I grew some one year. The homegrown ones seem to be much milder and easier to peel and cut. Im with Bob, crying when you discarded the greens! I like to mix mustard and turnip greens and cook up with some bacon and just a few of the roots. Now Im hungry for greens! Mmmm!
No worries, I saved the best greens for us. I fed the discolored ones to the chickens. However, I do primarily grow them for the root. That is what I crave. I have tons of greens already
I enjoy seeing your gardening videos it their progression. Thank you.💗
Been gardening for years, but our first two raised beds and accompanying trellis are now set up and filled as of yesterday morning, it's something we've thought of doing for a while now, it's good to have it built and filled! So, last night I was looking for videos on turnips, yours showed up. So, I planted planted our turnips near our beans and cukes, while watching, but mostly listening to your video 😊 Thanks for all you & Nancy do. Blessings to you both!!
Another comment for support 👍🏼 good luck
I like that bluesy guitar background music. Real cool!!!
Great video 👍 I love both Turnip and Rutabaga but just can’t seem to grow them I’ve tried many different times through the year. I’m going to follow your instruction and try again this spring!
Thanks for another great inspirational video.
As a kid my grandmother and mom would cut the tops like collards and dice the root into cubes and cook them. I’ve boiled them and mashed them up like mashed taters! Good eating I tell you what!
I like a few raw with a nice dip. But recently I tried turnips mashed just like potatoes and they are surprisingly very delicious. I can't wait to try them this summer.
I like them like that too. It’s a unique taste. Seems the more I eat them tha more I like thwm
Thank you both greatly for this video. A lot of people here in Arkansas do not put the turnips Roots into their greens. I don't understand that. They soak up all the flavor.
nice turnips
God bless you two with all that you do, you two are the best,
Love Miss Della, have a blessed day
Hollis, you said something that caught my ear about how your turnips taste
sweeter from your fall harvests. Carrots and parsnips do also. Common
denominator true root crop?
TYFS Mark n Rosa
We live a few miles north of Port St. JOE, FLORIDA. I am new to knowing when to plant things since we have some cool mornings. Love your channel!
Love your verses. ❤
Usually turnips are easy to grow in gardens. I don't use any store bought fertilizers in my garden and they grow each time. What I do use in my garden are broken egg shells to keep some pests away. I noticed that turnips prefer to grow in my garden in spring or when it's not too hot outside.
WOW!! Your garden looks amazing! I felt so bad for you when I first saw all the white sand. Especially after all the years of work at your previous home. You and Nancy, definitely "Grow where you're planted". You make your sponsor (Black Kow) look good!
replace potatoes with turnip in a pot roast. add Brussel sprouts. best roast you ever had.
Splendid video! Have a fantastic day- from a teenager across the pond.
Have a nice day
Great video makes me want some turnips. I watched one of your videos to learn how to plant something now I’ve been watching them all, good stuff and makes me want to plant more.
Use a string when you sow them
So excited to see you guys are putting out new videos. Love them!!!
The best is yet to come👍. Thanks for watching
Hollis I love turnips and I will find room for them this year. 👍
My favorite. My mother got me hooked cutting them like french fries and eating them raw. Thanks for sharing. But I love them baked, roasted, or boiled with butter as well!
Hollis wait the greens 😳 I like the Turnip Greens if I had the funds I’d say shipp’em my way OhMy😍 I’ve also seen the roots waxed & stored in a root cellar then they keep for months. Thank you Both🙏🏾
They are also very good with ribs or neck bones. Put your ribs or neck bones in a pot and cover with water, add salt and pepper to taste. When they are almost done, add your turnips which have been quartered. Cook until fork tender. Serve with a skillet of cornbread and you have supper. Oh, and you can add a little red pepper flakes while they are cooking, if you like a little heat. Enjoy!
Great post! I am from NN, live right off Denbigh. Wish I had met you when you lived here. Thanks so much for sharing your gardening knowledge. Love that you post from planting to harvesting in the same video. Love the greens of the turnips. Blessings!!!
Thanks for watching! Yes ma’am, I lived if Denbigh for several years before I married Nancy. I lived in Windsor Apartments. After we got married we lived on Rumson Avenue off JClyde Morris. Moved back to Florida in November 2017
Put bacon or fatback in crock pot for 1hour then add turnip greens let cook down then add more turnip greens. Delicious!
amazing growing
Thank you for your video.
Always a joy to watch!
I started buying black gold last year after watching you for years
You and Nancy are wonderful 😊
Giv see me a peeled fresh turnip and a salt shaker and I'm as happy as a lark! Also love the tops cooked down!
Perfection! Love to eat them too! Love watching you both. God bless you.
Getting ready to harvest the last of mine ahead of the big freeze.
Keep up the great work love it
Boil the roots cubed up with a little sugar. When done to soft firm texture, treat like potatoes and make potato salad out of them. That's the only way I knew to eat them, cuz a 5 gallon bucket of ketchup is tall money. You pitched the greens. That hurts! Love the videos!
Going to plant some soon 😊
They taste great in the fall 👍
Delicious 😋 ! I like turnip roots with salt, pepper & butter 🧈 too. I’m going to try growing this fall but, like you I want some NOW 👍🏽
Thank you for sharing this information. I love turnip greens and was try to find the correct variety to sow!
I love the turnips roasted 😋
Yeah OMG..keep the turnip greens ..they are so good..I would love to see how Nancy cooks and how you store your vegetables..we eat some and pressure can/water-bath rest..take care and be blessed 🙏🙏✝️✝️
We love them too. Nancy is doing a lot of canning since moving here. She is retired now and has more time. Since the food shortages hit our area this year she has really ramped up the canning. I think they are purdee when she puts them in the shelves
I dice them into 1 inch pieces and make a dark brown roux. Stew them down with sliced smoked sausage to make turnip stew.
I have a good indian curry root vegetable recipe that has turnips, potatoes, carrots and lots of different curry spices......easy to grow for a novice level gardener as well.
Fine job Sir 🦾
😂first timer.
I clicked because Black Cow topsoil grew potatoes and flowers for me.
All I did was torture them, but the dirt saved us.
Looks good 👍
I love how nearly planted your rows are 😍I couldn't do that if I life depended on it🤣I try so so hard too I dont understand how my rows end up crooked I want mine to look perfect like yours
I cut grooves in my rails for my guide string. Check out this video:
th-cam.com/video/c-ceckjer1k/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful, God bless!
Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
I like turnip in soup and salad
Excellent! Lord bless you ❤
Holy... look at the SIZE of those turnips! I love turnips and those are some of the biggest I've seen :)
LOL. They can get much larger. We have grown them the size of softballs with no problem. We prefer to harvest them when they are small as shown in this video for a much sweeter taste and more tender
Great in chicken soup too.. great watching your videos thanks 💯✌🏻
Hello there!! Thank you for all your great info.
Do you ever thin out the sprouts? At what point and what spacing would you do that?
Pace turnip seed on top notrench and press seed into soil with ur foot and water often
I plant mine in mid Sept with a salt shaker works pretty good
That’s a good idea sir. I am going to try that this fall👍👍. Thanks for the tip
I love all the videos…
I cook my turnips like collards with h
Jalapeno, apple cider vinegar
i would be GLAD to come there and take care of all of the "tops" of the turnips!!! lol....I normally keep turnip greens growing almost year round...but only for the "tops"...I give away all of the actual turnips! those look like some really good/clean/ greens!!!!! :)
I suspect the greens get used to grow great fresh home-grown eggs. 😉
Great!
Black Kow manure is too expensive when purchased online.
Thank you
Yum yum
Hi, I am curious what do you plant in the summer months if you plant Turnips in the spring and fall. I live in a city and have a small backyard so I want to rotate crops properly. Thanks in advance.
I’m needing some straw for my garden. You once recommended some, and I love it but forgot the name?
Sure wish I had some of those now, my fall turnips mostly rotted and the Food Lion where I live hadn't bee able to get none in months.
Wonderin' who's playing the relaxing music in the background?
Do they store well in dry storage…like potatoes ? I am going to plant these this fall. First time.
How many greens can you harvest off the root and still slow it to grow bigger?
Looks very yummy! Can you freeze them to have later? Thanks for all your great videos!
how do you turn the sand into rich soil down here in FL? compost and black kow I'm assuming.???
Hi. Could you cube n freeze them without cooking? Then when you wanted some, just get some out of the freezer n boil them til you grow more after the summer heat. Peace to you and yours
How is the overhead watering working out? Do you ever have trouble with snakes out there? Thanks for your wonderful videos. I fall planted turnips in my raised bed this year. Thank you
I have 4 bags of these black cow and in one of them a rose Bush has started growing with very sharp thorns I just let it stay growing so I could see what it was and sure enough it was Rose's🤣🤣
Good morning! So how long do turnips keep in the fall un refrigerated? Do you ever freeze them, and rutabagas?
Your very lucky to get black gold. I can’t get it in my area. And I live in a big city. You’d think I could find it. But with no luck.
Can I grow them from the roots instead of seeds?
OMG! So what do you do with the tops?
I like the tops better i do cook the roots with them my wife doesn't care for the roots im good with both.
Do you thin your greens when young?
Where is the cheapest place to buy black Kow I would like to try it. Thank you
Did you thin the turnups for spacing?
