Gilfeather turnip

Jeannine Anne · June 20, 2012

Has anone grown this. I have recently received seeds from a very kind gardening friend, I am not sure if he is a TM member or not.

I know the history, it is actually a rutabaga from Vermont. I was wondering if anyone closer to my area had grown it.
