5Rutabaga, Gilfeather's Turnip Brassica napus (85 days)  This is from an accidental cross between a rutabaga and a turnip; two different that don't usually cross-pollinate. Here's a description from the grower, Frank Morton, " It's leaves have the color and shape of rutabaga, with a good kale-like flavor. The root is shaped like a football rather than a sphere, lacks the purple top of both common turnips and rutabaga, has the color of a white turnip (as opposed to the yellowish flesh of common rutabaga), with a texture and flavor intermediate between the two. When cooked and mashed, the color and texture would mislead many to think of mashed potatoes. The flavor is mild, with less of the sulfurous taste that we associate with the Brassica family."

Rutatbaga, Nadmorska Brassica napus(85-100 days)  Rutabagas occupy a special place at the table for their value as a winter storage crop.  Much neglected in many modern American gardens they will feed you when all the tomatoes and summer squash are but a fleeting memory.  This beauty has yellowish flesh and leaves that resemble kale (and can be eaten as such if needed) that is most excellent cooked and mashed.  Mild flavor.  Great storage ability.  Easy to grow.  Best suited as a fall crop that would be sown in July here in Oregon.  Grown by Alan Adesse at Hands On organics. Packet: (1g.) Bulk: 1 oz (≈ 8,000 seeds)  ...
