First time here. I like the "beginning to end" way of filming--from garden to belly. But I guess the best part is that the kid(s) are involved. Hugely important they learn young the real process of getting food into you. City dwellers tend to think food comes from stores. And for my 2 cents, let dem ladies cluck away. For me, it adds rather than detracts. Thanks. Keep breathin'.
I agree I love getting our granddaughter involved as much as we can. I know "country" people that would RATHER buy from the store because "it's been FDA approved" haha It is crazy how out of touch society has become to "real" food.
It’s honestly one of my favorite ways to use turnips…they soak up all the flavor (chefs kiss) so good! ESPECIALLY if you dehydrate them for storage and don’t rehydrate them in water but let them rehydrate in the stew/soup…DEFINITELY the best way to go IMO
Size makes a HUGE difference! The bigger they get the more they taste like woody radishes…mine were waaaay to big for the best flavor! Thankfully we don’t mind radishes…Kenny actually loves radishes.
@@AbundantAcresHomestead They will believe me, my Uncle had about an acre always full, they go for it, not sure what it actually do for them in nutrition but he believed in that, glad I could made you hungry 🤣😂❤
Hey, a big thank you from us here. We love turnips, and typically get them free from folks that set out feed plots for deer. The deer ignore the bottoms, but eat the greens. We clean them, cut them into 1" or so chunks, and simply bag and deep freeze them. They keep for YEARS. Then just boil them with some bacon and a little sugar. Oddly, one never, ever, finds turnips in the store... weird, beings we are in the South. The closing tip for the hobo potatoes, well, we shall def. try that, and since our deer plot guy moved off, we shall plant our own, now. If you haven't already done so, take in a view of the old movie "Tobacco Road", it has a really funny set of scenes involving turnips. "Just a little bite, Love", and the following. Bye bye for now..
First off...LOVE the name boogerhead (we call all the littles in our family boogerhead) LOL Turnips are definately a forgotten about veggie. We're in the midwest but I wouldve thought the south they'd be more readily available honestly. Hobo "potatoes" and loaded turnip soup is probably our two favorite ways to eat turnips. You're right they last FOREVER...way longer than potatoes, much easier to store. I'll check the movie out, thanks for sharing!
I love to grow turnips because I love to harvest the greens while they’re growing and I harvest those multiple times as they grow. My turnip harvest has never been great other than the greens but probably because I keep eating the greens! And you shared a lot of info that was so interesting! Thank you for sharing! 😊❤
I let them go a little too long for my preference. I feel like most people grow them for the tops, they do have that nice almost peppery taste. Thank you so much! My name is Angie my husband is Kenny we love meeting new friends on TH-cam ❤️
Lots of really great information ! I use turnips as a cover crop to feed the soil and for food plots to feed the deer . I figure if times get hard we could go out and eat them . My dad comes by and I give him some because he loves them raw . I will have to tell him about the turnip water because he has gout . Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !
Kenny grew them one year for a deer plot…cheap seeds! Why wait for times to get hard…go pluck ya some for dinner. But pick yours much smaller…mine got away from me this year 😂 I’d be curious to hear how it works out for him.
Turnips are so good! I am on keto and I use them in my soups and even sometimes as a mash like mashed potatoes. If anything I now prefer them to potatoes.
I planted turnips today!! Im in 8a, south of Dallas about 30 miles. I also have 2 chikens, I lost two to hawks firstvof July 😢if I feed and root veggies I chop them small. Glad to find you!!
Good evening from a cold and frosty England. I multi sow my turnip seeds, four or five to a module and plant them out when they are still relatively small, about two inches tall. As I am just growing for my wife and myself a row sown every four weeks gives us enough to last most of the year.
Sounds great! They are definitely worth growing and succession sowing is such a great way to do it. Succession sowing is definitely one of my weaknesses.
Better late than never 😉 Glad you loved em, they are way too good (cheap and easy to grow) to be so overlooked. Thank you for joining the TH-cam fam ❤️ I haven’t been posting much but hope to get back to it soon. I look forward to seeing you!
Im having a hard time growing turnips for some reason. I love the recipe & hope to tey it if i can ever figure the growing thing out. I do have a few that look promising. What grow zone are you in? Im subscribing to your channel by the way.
Sounds like those ladies having their own little party! haha Great information on turnips!
Yeah it’s either the chickens or the cows always upstaging me 😂
Wow, 60 days and they grow so big! That's amazing! Haha, chickens are enjoying their summer! ❤️
They are ridiculously easy to grow, not finicky at all. Yeah them chickens trying to edge me out of my own videos 😂
@@AbundantAcresHomestead 🤣🤣🤣
Great turnip harvest! Informative video my friend
Thank you Lisa…I’m a turnip believer 😉👍
The chickens will love those greens. I like hearing the chickens.

I am hungry now 😋
Added eggs to it…that’s been Kenny’s breakfast 😉
Never thought about it being used in stews or soups. Thanks for the tip.

I am very happy you are feeling better. I remember my mother cooking turnips with bacon, they were scrumptious.
Thank you, feeling much better! Everything is better with bacon 😉
A new subscriber from NYC. Thanks for your help and advice. See you soon!
Thank you for joining us! We've had a LOT going on so hopefully we'll get another video out soon, we look forward to seeing you Susan
Dont stress about thinning, you did great! I don't thin either. This summer I even let my radishes seed out and now have a free fall crop!
Thinning just ohhhh seems like a waste to throw out perfectly good plants 😂
That's a yummy way to cook the Turnips and thanks for the tips on the size for a well flavored turnip!! ❤️😋
Size makes a HUGE difference! The bigger they get the more they taste like woody radishes…mine were waaaay to big for the best flavor! Thankfully we don’t mind radishes…Kenny actually loves radishes.
@@AbundantAcresHomestead I like how you season them, I don't mind them at all, I love that they are full of fiber!
The great part is whatever your favorite seasoning is…it works!
Nice harvesting video Angie, great looking turnips, my Uncle used to grow them for cows
Thank you Jan, your cooking video had my mouth watering! I didn’t think to see if the cows would eat the scraps…I will next time!
@@AbundantAcresHomestead They will believe me, my Uncle had about an acre always full, they go for it, not sure what it actually do for them in nutrition but he believed in that, glad I could made you hungry 🤣😂❤
They will be getting all our scraps from now on…that generation is full of wisdom!

I love turnip greens and the actual turnip and then I will drink the "juice" after.
I’m not about the “juice”…Kenny would be more apt to like it than me. 😂
@@AbundantAcresHomestead I am a pot liquor drinker..lol..love it..but I'll take your's if Kenny wont..
I’ve used pot liquor for the garden more than once 😜

They definitely give a different flavor to just regular greens…definitely worth growing even if just for the greens! ❤️
WE grow turnips over winter for the greens! I need to try the turnips this year! They look good!
Yesssss! Definitely don’t let them get as big as I did, they’ll take on a woody radishish taste
Some thin sliced turnips with some salt sounds delicious about now!!
*Have a good'nnn*
I don’t have the pallet for them raw
I don't care for them cooked, But I do like them raw the way you described.
Chicken and turnip greens 👨🌾
Oh our chickens will flat tear them UP!
Those turnips are beautiful. I prefer the green tops. It's on my list for fall. 🌞 I'm a new subscriber.
I let them go a little too long for my preference. I feel like most people grow them for the tops, they do have that nice almost peppery taste. Thank you so much! My name is Angie my husband is Kenny we love meeting new friends on TH-cam ❤️
I love the chicken noise
Thank you I’ve had viewers complain about my girls 😂
They where very good
Even better burnt 😂
Thank you for info. Don't worry about your chicken 🐔 making noise. It's cool. 😎
They look delicious! Rabbits like turnip tops, BTW. It's nit just a chicken thang 😂
They’re just so versatile…I let my go too long so the bigger ones were a bit “radishy” Shoot I’m just shocked I have one let alone two 🤣🤣🤣
@@AbundantAcresHomestead I feel like I should mention that they're not a staple in gumbo 🤣
Haha 😂
Love your sweet daughter ❤️
😍👍

I am late to the game😂 I just made turnips, instead of potatoes and loved it. Thank you and I just subscribed. 😊😊
Better late than never 😉 Glad you loved em, they are way too good (cheap and easy to grow) to be so overlooked.
Thank you for joining the TH-cam fam ❤️ I haven’t been posting much but hope to get back to it soon. I look forward to seeing you!
I just planted some seeds a few days ago. Hope they sprout! I am going to use them in oxtail soup! Soooo delicious!!
Thanks,you have some great info on these.i am going to plant some with my radishes,thay both grow so fast.thanks again
Im having a hard time growing turnips for some reason. I love the recipe & hope to tey it if i can ever figure the growing thing out. I do have a few that look promising. What grow zone are you in? Im subscribing to your channel by the way.
I wonder if you could make a Turnup salad like a potato salad.
Me, too
way back when I had teeth I would eat turnip's raw but just like cabbage when they cook the house smells like a gigantic fart..lol
Bahaha what kinda turnips you cooking there Vernon? 😂
Give me the greens they are good I will cook them up. I will be your chicken.
I had a friend at church that said that my chickens eat better than some humans 😆 if we were neighbors I’d definitely give you the greens 🥬
Your turnips are beautiful. I tried turnips for the first time last year however the flea beetles destroyed them :/
Oh nooo! Try growing horseradish as a trap plant…the flea beetles will tear it up but it grows back. And it’s great to harvest 😉 ❤️
@@AbundantAcresHomestead I’ll look into that! Thanks for the tip :)
The chickens will love those greens. Why do you peel the turnips? we just dice them up and put them in the soup
first
Winner 🏆
Your pretty
Thank you, youre good for my ego LOL
I would like mine with parchment paper on top of the foil. Reduce the risk of Alzheimer's
Good to know!
I didnt know so thank you for commenting.
I've attemped to grow turnips twice. Both were a fail. Dont know what I'm doing wrong
Really? Turnips are usually a easy crop. I wonder if you’re dealing with soil issues or critters?
Yo
Hey 👋
I’ve never had turnips. Cute hate
Give them a try you might like em 😉
S*** I wouldn't waste them greens on chickens ..,ain't nothing better than turnip greens
That's not a grill that's a gas stove
