I was going through the property today and found these growing wild. I did not plant these but have only lived here for a year and a half.

It looks almost like a turnip. And there is some kind of bug that prefers this plant over any of the nearby weeds.

Wow. That looks really neat. I`m interested too. It does look eatable. I remember a turnip like veggie that starts with a `k`- kohlrabi- in grand ma`s garden. It`s milder than a regular turnip.
Hope someone tells us what it is soon

I don't think it is kohlrabi. Possibly rutabaga, but looks most like a turnip to me.

How can we tell them apart? They kinda all look the same to me

Here is one, still in the ground, and with some leaves still on it.

I can't seem to grow anything note worthy when I try and these things are growing wild all over!

Yep! That`s called gardening
Experimentation along with trial and error.
It grows on you
Then you're addicted

Well, if the bugs prefer it over the nearby weeds, then it's obviously something someone previously planted on purpose.

If they only kinda like it, then it's probably a pretty common variety. If they love it, then it's probably very rare and expensive.

Turnip. Not kohlrabi.

I've read that yellow turnips self sow and I'm sure cabbage moth worms find them delicious: they look like turnips to me.

It reminds me of a jicama, but seeing the leaves, may not be it. It sure looks interesting!
