I am pleased to read about your defense of the turnip. Here in Eastham we have been working to revive the delicious, purple topped sweet genetically unique variety known as the Eastham turnip. Until his recent death, Art Nickerson made it his life's mission to keep this turnip going. Two of his daughters continue to cultivate his field. Just recently, Bob Wells is carving a small patch of farmland out of his woodlot, and is out to multiply the available Eastham turnip stock. Bob's daughter Marina gave my son Jackson an Eastham turnip for his 18th birthday, and instead of eating it, he planted it in the hope of bringing it to seed. I can see it out my window, almost the size of the small red maple we rescued from my wife's grandmother's yard shortly before her death. The turnip is alive and well in Eastham!
