I can't tell which are which... the grocer keeps them side by side, and the labels are above, and I can't tell which they apply to.
I purchased several of what I *think* were the turnips ("whiter" root body with pinkish on top) to plant so that they grow turnip greens. I also purchased one of what I think is the rutabega... it was yellower on the body of root and had a deeper pinkish top.
So, did I guess correctly? Also... does anyone know if rutabega greens are good for igs? I can't find info on the greens.
