[Ag-eq] Turnips

[nfoster at extremezone.com]

Tracy:

Maybe that was it; I've had turnips before that had a bitter taste.  I also like
to steam them with a bit of butter.

I had 3 roses left, but then it got to 23 degrees and now they are gone.

All the leaves are coming down, it's definitely late fall.

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving.
