Oh, I meant to mention our favorite turnip recipe is called Armored Turnips. They are "armored" because they are covered in a cheese sauce and baked until a goldeb crust forms on top.Slice and boil them first. If you are vegan you can use your favorite "cheez" sauce, like with cashews and nutritional yeast

What a great looking harvest! That golden cabbage is spectacular! And the potato mint has to be one of the most unique vegetables I've seen. Plectranthus is also a popular houseplant with purple veined green leaves. Hope your surgery was a success and you are on the mend! Merry Christmas!

Thanks so much, Alice! And I also love Plectranthus 'Mt. Carbine’ (Australian lemon leaf). It’s an herb with the most intensely lemon-scented leaves.

My surgery went well, and I’m so glad to be healing at home with family. Merry Christmast to you too!

What a wonderful harvest! I'm curious about trying that potato mint, too...

Wow, what a haul - congrats!

Re radish, turn any extra into kimchi - delish and keeps really well ☺️.

You can also grate it raw to serve as a garnish for stews and soups - wakes up the tastebuds and great for digestion too.

I agree on the celery! Homegrown celery is just so good. The African mint is interesting. I will have to look into it.

I love how much better veggies taste when they’re homegrown. It makes the gardening so worthwhile. And I know, that mint was a huge surprise for me too. And the tubers were so delicious!

Thanks! The photos were only the day after the harvest, though. But everything still looks good 2 weeks later! I’m excited to see if that post-frost sweetness has happened. Thanks so much for reaching out. ❤️
