Identifying Mystery Plants: Cleaning up the Garden

Wondering what happened to the seeds I planted. How did turnips turn into potatoes? Had to use a plant identifier to figure out what should stay and what is a waste of time and space. (See below) The garden definitely needed a cleanup.

I got a pretty good harvest of turnip greens, but I still had to buy some at the store in order to get enough for New Year's dinner! (I've already cooked and froze them ahead of time for the big day!).
Hope your New Year's Day is all you want it to be. Take care and thanks for watching!

    I have a friend who soaks her fresh greens in slightly salty water. It cleans the leaves she says and removes any bugs that might still be on there. It might be worth a try with a few. Dont know if they absorb any of the salt though.

    I saw Linda, The New Orleans Gardener use salt and baking soda on hers. My mother always used dishwashing liquid, but people are more health conscious now, so I didn't want to mention that! 😃

    You're very welcome, Renee. I haven't dehydrated onion tops yet, but I do have a dehydrator. I might try doing it eventually. Right now I just chop up the tops and then quick freeze them on a cookie sheet so that they don't stick together. Then I put them in a zip lock bag and keep them in the freezer to use as I need them. They stay fresh for a long time. I can't remember. Do you have a video on dehydrating onions? If so, I'll check it out. Take care. 😊

    I use labels, but they fade in the sun. 😥 I even drew a map this year, but I'm learning that I have to put in a lot more detail. Not giving up though! Thanks for watching!
