Cut the last of the initial six broccoli heads this afternoon. They're nice this year. There will be a break before the next six are ready but the cut plants are already starting to make side shoots that will be nice in salads.
And I pulled some radishes. These are Opolanka (a Polish type) and French Breakfast. Very similar in shape and color with that white tip. They're very mild and crisp and although I thought the larger ones might be a bit pithy in the middle, they weren't.
Yesterday afternoon I got to wondering how far away the turnips were from being ready and found the first six! The greens were really pretty with no shot holes at all. Maybe the flea beetles have retired until spring. These are the regular old Purple Top. We had steamed turnips along with the greens for lunch today. I like to eat turnips raw too.
