You have a good eating. I wish I had me a pot of greens and a chicken off the yard. This is the best food in the world to me. Excellent channel & MEAL!!
Thinned greens from root crops are wonderful. I did this with beet greens just a few days go. I love your channel, this vid is a nice reminder to eat everything, thinings included. Now I'm hankerin' for some turnips!
Love them and grow them every year. I save every scrap of ham and use some in my greens and bulbs too. Yummy. Thanks for another great video, Blessings
U r one true cool homestead dude. Keep doing what u do. This is from a guy that's on a completely different life than u but u made a way for us to get on the same level. Hope u understand what I'm trying to say. Longevity I pray for u and urz. Respect
Their meal looks delicious. I just love purple top turnips. I'm cooking some this minute while watching this video. I have a vegetable steamer I'm cooking them in. I just add salt and pepper. I can't wait to dive into these turnips. Good video. Thank you.
Planting some right now for the fall. Gonna plant in the early spring next year. Started everything late but this is what I was raised off. Gonna look at the canning video. Yes some good eating for sure.
Your Turnips look great! I did a video called (time to Turn-Up) & on the purple tops I grew one grew to be long & white. Almost looked like a parsnip, & I have no idea why. But most were beautiful & Delicious.
Probably an icicle radish seed got mixed in. I used to grow them when I still lived at home in high school. My friends mom thought they were the neatest thing so I'd always give her some " of those white carrot radishes" she called them lol
Love me some greens and turnips cooked with some neckbone/jowls,hocks or something likw that.. collards too. We cook them in a huge pot once a year. Freeze them cooked and pull them out, heat them on the stove in their pot liquor....Good video!
Thank you! You inspired me to plant a packet of turnips in my garden. Like you, I thinned the greens and canned them. Today I harvested my first turnips. In the process of canning the bounty for my family to enjoy.
Well I'm 5 years late but man that looks delicious! Gonna harvest my 1st ever purple top turnips in the next day or two, so I'm really glad you explained some things ✌️🇺🇲
I am going to grow them in my garden, for the first time. What is so funny is I don’t know what they taste like. But I got some seed packages cheap, so I will try them.
Good day happy twosome. Whoaa Turnip greens. Love Turnips and Rutabagas I live in Northern Ohio I can't grow that yet. The 7th is my birthday I'll be 69 I need Turnips and Rutabagas for my birthday. Come on dang, that looks fantastic! I am going out and planting some tomorrow. I can almost taste em.Great Video!
Good morning, Danny and Wanda! I think I'll try growing some of those next season. This year, I grew American Purple Top Rutabagas and canned a bunch. They're just a little bigger, turn a light yellow-orange when you cook them, and have a little different taste.
It got freezing here last night and had to bring pepper's and tomatoe's back in have not set them in garden yet was waiting (good thing too) .Oh now those are some nice looking turnips greens yum yum y'all are making me so hunger you said what time supper (LOL) enjoyed video but had to wipe my mouth it was watering so much🤤😋😄 God Bless
I'm from the Southeast and that's the way my mama used to cook turnips along with the root cubed up. As a child I didn't like them, but as I got older I loved them. I'm growing some this year for the first time. She also used to cook what she called "mixed greens" which was collards, mustard greens and turnip greens all chopped and mixed together. Good stuff. She also chopped the green leafs of cabbage really thin and cooked similar to collards. They were SO good. Don't waste that extra food.
Yes, ma'am, bacon grease! I had turnips and roots for dinner the same day you put out this video...with a pile of butter-fried yellow corn fritters! Hey, from Big Creek Lake.
That's looking great. In the Netherlands we call it a 'Forgotten Vegetable', so it isn't available in the regular stores. The rutabaga is busy making a comeback, so perhaps the turnips are following that direction. None the less, the seed is available, so I will give it shot, cause that looks like my kind of meal :)
Here it is the first of April and you folks are already eating from the garden...but that is what it's all about, food that is picked and eaten in the same day. Nice stand of turnips...you are doing something right.
Our temp here in KY dropped below freezing, I looked up an saw at least 4 Jets spewing a thick vapor.. it's 8 now and by 12 , it will be completely overcast
I poured a package of chiotto (sp?) beets (the kind with the red rings inside) into the soil just the other day, they will be ready by May I think it is
Danny, I know this is an old video but it is all relavent right? Part of my garden was planted with turnips and I was so excited when I saw the beautiful greens that appeared on them , lo and behold I had puny little white roots on them, so sad, what is my problem?
Nice to see you growing healthy organic food for your family 👏👏 but might I suggest you take a small pocket knife and cut of the amazing fertile dirt and root's from the veggies to leave it on the ground rather than washing it down your sink drain 👍👍👍
I love your videos about saving seeds. Do you save turnip seeds? If so I would really enjoy learning how your process works. Thank you for all the amazing videos! I've learned so much from you both!
I believe we have a video on saving tender green seeds in our playlist. The process is the same for all greens. th-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=Si-xmCx8ZtA th-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=GV9IoXZiBlM
This is my favorite green ..but for the last few years haven't been able to grow them in my garden. Don't know why I can't get root crops to grow . These used to grow very well ,but no globes form now. Any ideas what would correct this ? Turnips,turnip greens, seasoning bacon and cornbread. And of course don't forget the pot liquor and you have a meal that's hard to beat ..Many blessings to y'all.
Eating fresh turnips in my great grandma's garden is one of my strongest memories from my early childhood. She always had a big patch behind her house in the mountains of North GA. I live in SW PA and very few people my age have even tasted a turnip. It's kinda sad really.
Hi...im a newbie gardener..i read online that its not good to plant same vegetable in the same spot more than 2 times..can you plz explain the reason why?thank you and does this also pertain to flowers too?
Ive been using this garden for 15 years. Its all about moving your veggies around in the garden and companion planting to control the insects. Yearly composting is a must to maintain healthy soil.
Danny, is that hortonova netting I see? If yes, where did you get that short version? I got some 5'5" width recently and that is overkill for peas. I'd like to buy a run of shorter stuff like yours. Thanks.
I'm growing them for the first time this year. Did you boil the greens in the pot, or simmer them for the 40min? Is alot of the nutritional value lost in the water? Thanks for the video!
I'll be looking forward to the video on You canning those purple top green just a heads up I'm up here in northern Michigan and we got probably about and easily 15 inches of snow yesterday and it's in the single digits as far as the temperature goes so when is that global warming going to kick in haha LOL thank you for sharing God bless you
Deep South Homestead I pray that be able to get a growing system in before that time comes I will be putting in a raised garden this year and get started on the greenhouse thank you for all your doing my prayers for you all
Yesterday here in Western NY we had high winds, drop in temps and woke this morning to half an inch of snow ... weather man says another storm coming from the West. I told a homesteader last week not to plant anything until after the 13th, well he didn't listen and now he's got to replant 2 acres with new seed ... when will people listen??? YHWH give some people gifts for the good of the entire body, sad when they just won't listen. Beautiful turnips, you are blessed. Please get ready for some rough weather coming your way, if I'm seeing this right you'll be getting tornados in you area in the next 45 to 60 days ... please be careful and don't leave things out the high winds will pick up and do damage. Praying for you!!!
I was talking to someone the other day about cooking greens and they looked at me like I was stupid like I did not know what I was talking about thank you for making this video thank you for the support you all have given in giving me love you all talk to you

I am going to grow them in my garden, for the first time. What is so funny is I don’t know what they taste like. But I got some seed packages cheap, so I will try them.
Here in NC we call the root the turnip and the leaves the greens. Cooked together we call it turnip salad. Good eating for sure. Take care
Mighty good supper there! I'm so hungry for home grown veggies if this weather would ever warm up some.
Glenokla Its the GSM thats taking place. Thanks
You're welcome! Thank you!!!

Thanks you have a very good show I live in port st Lucie florida it's Sandy soil here so I mix peat moss and orangic compost for my collar greens
I just picked me a mess of them turnip greens and them roots they was about two and a half inch across just perfect cooking them right now.
Turnips are fun to grow. You get greens and turnips. Yum
Looks delicious Thanks for sharing your day with us and have a great and blessed day 😎
I agree on the bulbs, and the greens are tough to. That 1 good thing about them is thinning them out
That looks like some good eating right there. I've never tried cooking down my turnip tops. Will have to try this. Thanks.
Corn bread in a cast iron skillet my favorite
Thank you you’re really smart
Here it is the first of April and you folks are already eating from the garden...but that is what it's all about, food that is picked and eaten in the same day.
Nice stand of turnips...you are doing something right.
Those were some gorgeous turnip greens!
god some seeds for theses and did not know they would be exactly what we need for greens. thank you for introducing me to this crop!
You are so welcome! They are great greens to have on your homestead
Nothing better than a pan of turnip greens with the roots and a pan of cornbread.
Dang!!! that is a, "Sunday Dinner" where I come from lol.
Hi there.

Our temp here in KY dropped below freezing, I looked up an saw at least 4 Jets spewing a thick vapor.. it's 8 now and by 12 , it will be completely overcast
The sun was coming up by 8,and it would have been a sunny clear day
I love purple top turnips, nobody eats them but me so I don't get them very often... but they are some of my favorites!!
I poured a package of chiotto (sp?) beets (the kind with the red rings inside) into the soil just the other day, they will be ready by May I think it is

I love turnips, have you ever tried frying the bulb part like potatoes?

Kay Garvin Yes you can as long as they are mature. Thanks

I have macular Degeneration and I heard the greens are good for this. I am 77 years.Thanks.
Looks wonderful. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

That looks amazing. Some kind good eating.
Try adding an amount of sweet potatoes equal to your turnip roots when you cook your greens. You will be pleasantly surprised.
Nice! Going to try this ❤
What time of year did you plant the seeds for the turnips?
Gerhard Braatz We planted them a month ago. Thanks
Nice Turnip green patch
Looking good.

little goatfeathers They need a PH of 6 to 6.5 in very fertile soil with good moisture planted on the wanning of the moon. Hope this helps Thanks
