According to an old English wives tale, turnips must be planted by naked gardeners. Perhaps the old women enjoyed the spectacle, or more likely, they knew that if turnips are planted too early when the soil and weather is still cold, the plants grow woody stalks and bolt to seed without developing tender, crisp, rounded roots.
