My first plantings of swede this year are really quite big too. I think they must have loved the cool wet growing conditions earlier on. I'm going to be picking out the largest ones to eat from now on. Although I don't find they taste as good as winter ones, they will be big footballs otherwise!
Should I pull them as some of them are getting so big they are begining to sit on top of the soil ! ![happy7 :happy7:](https://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/Smileys/Lots_O_Smileys/happy7.gif)
Don't worry, much of a swelling swede is visible above soil level. Just pull one as you need it
