turnips and rutabagas: Pull young plants with tiny roots to thin rows and give growing room to the remaining plants. Eat thinnings, tops and all. At two-inch diameters, • roots are tastiest, and tips are still. good as greens. At three inches and above, roots are still good and store a little better. Late planted rutabagas can stay in the ground until needed.

Sweet Peppers: Harvest when large and green, or allow to turn red for color interest. Cut them, rather than pull them, from the plant to avoid breaking brittle branches.
