We have had a successful crop of Turnips- actually "crop" is a bit of a misnomer as I had only planted a small row. This is the first time I have grown turnips so next season more of this variety will get planted. Root vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet along with plenty of "greens" and fruit. The variety was "purple top" :
Also noticed an Oriole flash out of a large elkhorn so I suspected a nest and found this after fetching a ladder :
It was in amongst the top of this large elkhorn. The Olive backed Oriole (Oriolus sagittatis) has such a lovely call. I have mentioned it before (in November last year).
