Lovely. Mom always eagerly waited for turnip season and so enjoyed eating them even though she was the only one.

You makin me hungry my friend! LOVE fresh turnips and the same goes for this Haiku...Bacon, garlic and onions and when they're done, I like cider vinegar on mine (Not on the Haiku of course) - Tim

Tim, I do a vinegar hotsauce to pour over greens that we all enjoy..I do like the Haiku plain though..Sara

Ah, I can just see the lady bug enjoying a flight over the turnip greens. Your haiku is lovely, dear. I've been meaning to call you regarding the results of your biopsy. Been sick, but will try to reach you soon.

Anne, Yes, I have heard that some cultures only it the root but I was reared where we have to eat the greens as well as the root..They say that they are rich in calcium and vitamins which we all need but don't necessarily like..Sara
