| japeal, when do you need to plant them here to have them ready for christmas? Got the seeds, just unsure about when. The instructions on the back are for UK weather. |

| I have seen them in Ileli as well as parsnips and last week Blueberries! If you ask them I think you will be pleasantly surprised as they seem to get in whatever we have asked for, within reason of course. |

| There is a root vegetable Beyazsarmak available here, it looks like a turnip wrapped in a bandage. Which is funny because the name seems to translate as white bandage.
It cooks and tastes just like swede without the orange colour. |
