My late husband, who was by trade a fire-fighter, was also a farmer. He would try to grow anything here in our northern Ohio place. Once he grew tobacco, once cotton…neither an Ohio crop. No spectacular crops, such as his cabbage which was much coveted by sauerkraut fans, and sweet corn which he picked while the customer waited.
oops, got off the subject there… once he grew rutabagas, also parsnips, and turnips…everybody’s German gramma made mashed turnips along with mashed potatoes for the holidays. My kids were less than thrilled with the rutabagas, but they are a good root cellar crop.
Love the rutabaga! 🙂 Don’t think I’ve ever tried one, though.

I would think they would be good crops to grow. I’m not a fan of them though. 😀

It looks rutabaga are waiting for someone, some are arriving from air, some from sea. Wonder if a war is about to start?
