Someone asked the kind of rutabaga I grow. Truthfully I don't know. I think I grew a Seed Savers variety called Miss Gladys McGee.
Joan is supposed to be good, developed by wild seed farm, I think the guy over there is Jim Morton.
In the past I grew Laurentian rutabaga, which is traditional purple top and yellow flesh. The one in growing this year is white fleshed and yellow colored top not purple. What I love about it is the greens are smooth and mild tasting, a cross between cabbage and kale. So I've really gotten a lot of use of it by cooking the greens and even serving them raw. Plus we can cook the roots, I like them mashed with butter and salt. Root veggies are great way to extend garden to winter.
