Purple Top Milan
Flat-topped, purple-shouldered, and sweet as anything when pulled at golf-ball size. One of the fastest root vegetables — sow it in a gap and it fills it before you notice.

Glazed baby turnips
Halve the small ones, cook cut-side down in butter with a pinch of sugar until golden and tender. Finish with a splash of stock and a scatter of parsley. Elegant enough for a dinner plate.
