Left to grow a little longer than optimum, these swedes offered themselves as a textural shot from the vegetable patch of our friend's house yesterday.
I wanted to call this turnip texture, or even turnip with attitude, but it seems to me that it is a swede and not a turnip, and further investigation revealed that the swede is otherwise known as rutabagas - which I rather liked.
Ah! I thought I was looking at leaf scars until I read your commentary ... but then I guess these are leaf scars of a sort. I will look at my swedes more carefully next time.
@helenm2016 Yes, you are probably right. I don't know a lot about gardening but I would say these had grown rather more than they were supposed to before harvesting.
