Anton Seder. Die Pflanze in Kunst und Gewerbe /The Plant in Art and Industry. vol.2. ca. 1887-89.

A garden snail, a hare, a lizard, a moth, and a small songbird each find their place among the voluptuous, almost fantastical foliage of some kohlrabis. Have the leaves of a root vegetable ever been this lush?

We’ve just spent a good hour harvesting turnips and it makes me so happy. I love adding turnips to casseroles and stews, but really struggle to find them in the supermarkets … maybe they’re just not popular anymore, I don’t know … 🤷‍♀️

Oh, well … I’m off to settle into an afternoon of chopping, blanching and freezing, which actually sounds pretty good to me. Hope you’re having a lovely weekend too … 😊🫜
