Turnips?

Planting the vegetable garden this spring was a bit of a scramble. With Oliver's two-year-old "help," we had to get a little creative sometimes in keeping him occupied and getting things in the ground. This has manifested itself in the nearly grown garding in quite a few ways. For one thing, there are random sunflowers in several spots throughout the garden. And, most rows have "walk-throughs" where the seedlings just weren't tough enough to survive Oliver's wandering.  The funniest thing, though is that we planted a lot of things that I couldn't remember planting. We have what I think are delicata variety summer squash, but I'm just not sure that's what they are. And this week I realized that we must have put in some odd varieties of beets. Seeing some non-beetlike greens early on, I had assumed they were swiss chard and happily eaten the greens several times. Then, I noticed the bulbs. Huh. That's not swisschard. So, I asked my sister and she said maybe they were turnips! Ah, turnips. I don't remember planting turnips, but whatever. I dug a few up (what the heck do you do with turnips?) and peeled them and oven roasted them. Kevin and I cut into a few on Sunday night ... and ... they tasted like beets. Delicious. And I'm pretty sure that's what they are. I think.
