Snowy, stay out please. Been doing good plots for years and have made EVERY mistake in the book. This year I decided to go all out and make sure I did it right. God helped with timely rains. Just pulled these turnips / radished n rape plants today. Lots of forage for late season bowhunting

Awesome! When did you get those planted? Are the deer feeding on the green leaves yet by you?
My phone has been blowing up with notifications from my trail camera the last couple weeks with the deer activity ramping up in our plots, but we got them in a little late and we won't get turnips and radishes anywhere near as big as yours. Maybe next year...
Also if you can let me know where you got the seeds for the one 2nd from the right, that would be great!

From what I understand, getting things planted late isn't a bad thing since a killing frost brings out the sugars in the plants. Then it'll look like someone went through the plot with a roto tiller!
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I seeded July 25 as I've been doing for several years. Seeds come from RJ Hunt com. The perfect timed rains really helped and I think going overboard$$ on fertilizer also helped big time. For the most part, deer have not been hitting them yet but should start hard after a hard frost.

Nice. I have tried the turnips before, but the deer here aren't used to them and they didn't really attract. However, bowhunting in Illinois around some plots, they love them.

Turnips have been big here the last several years it's weird to see a field of them and the cattle throwing the tops up so they can eat the bundle.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

LOL! You have to be kidding me. We call those gardens not bait plots. LOL
You go girl and have a good one, the garden looks great and so do those squash. Hey, don't you drink Schmidt's or Schlitz any more??

Roasted Turnip Recipe: Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss together the turnips, butter, thyme sprigs, shallots, olive oil and some salt and pepper in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Roast until the turnips begin to soften, about 30 minutes. Adjust the seasoning and serve.

Jerry, don't the cattle eat the tops? Tiguy. Middle plant s a Giant Rape. RJ Hunt co. Has them. They can get over 3' tall. I've got 6 of these plots scattered out. All are doing fantastic but 1 that got semi drownded out but it's still purdy nice. I also have oats n rye planted along side the brassicas and a few plots have pumpkins/ squash mixed in. If the wolves stay away, late season bowhunting should be fantastic!

I think Turnips need to freeze or get frosted before the deer turn on them which could be why the southern deer did not like them. Someone more knowledgeable can confirm or dispel that though I am sure.

Turnips and radishes, they atypically leave them alone untill a hard frost The giant rape seed they can pound as soon as they emerge but they keep growing.. Tiguy, don't even THINK of depleting my Hamms supply up
