Look what turned-up!

Much to our delight, the turnip seeds we planted the other day have begun to sprout up in a neat little line at the front of our plot.

We'll probably leave them here for a few weeks, then start spreading them out, and giving to our allotment neighbours, once they get a bit tougher. Probably going to put them in place of the onion patch, most of which are almost ready for harvest.

No sign yet from any of the other seedlings though: the race is on!

By the way, check out a few of the health benefits of turnips here, including that turnip juice has twice the amount of vitamin C as orange juice...WOW! maybe doesn't go quite as well with a croissant though.
