A neep tide.....

... or a swathe of turnips!
The farm our cottage is on has around 1500 head of sheep and sometime during January or February the sheep are allowed onto the turnip fields to feed.
Amazingly the neeps don't deteriorate in the ground. They seem to love the cold weather. And they seem to push themselves up out of the ground.

" A neep or tumshie is the ruit crap brassica rapa var. rapa that's aft growen in maumie climates athort the warld for its white, bulbous tapruit. Smaw, neshy kynds is growen for human consumption, while lairger kynds is growen as feed for stock.

Perhaps many of you know this already but I am pretty ignorant of farming matters!
