Hi All,
whilst thining out some turnips i noticed they were starting to give a bit of a sting as i touched them and are slightly sharp on the leaves/stem.
Is this normal or have some weeds once again overtaken and grown wonderfully in their place?
Thanks
Liam
Perfectly normal... many radish have the same effect. Some people react to parsnip leaves as well. :)
It tends to be as they age.
You can eat radish and turnip leaves in salad, bu only when young as the pricke the mouth!
