Swedes over winter

Hi all.

I've got some swedes growing here and there from this year's saved seeds (and I'm sure some have self-seeded) A couple seem to be steadily but slowly growing. Do they benefit from being earthed-up? The bulbous roots are several inches above the soil.

cheers,
Dave

 

No, Dave, they are meant to grow above ground, sending down a tap root.:thumb:

 

Swedes do fine in winter they are used to it, like danish are :D

Forgive me. As an italian I had a bit of a shock when reading for the first time about roast swede in an english magazine! :D

 

With mustard and beer?
:D
