Swede (Rutabaga/Swedish Turnip)
Swede or Rutabaga is one of the easiest vegetables to grow, the perfect winter vegetable. It is a very versatile vegetable. The leafs can be eaten like spinach. The roots are lovely roasted or boiled, mashed and makes a great addition and flavour to stews.
How To Grow
Sow thinly then thin out the seedlings when large enough to handle, water well.
How/When To Harvesting
Lift roots when large enough to use, although they are frost hardy so are best left in the ground over winter until required.
