Gardens of the Cross Timbers: The Swede in the Sack Becky Emerson Carlberg Contributing writer The Multi-County Master Gardeners welcome one and all to their plant sale today from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the OSU Extension Center, 14001 Acme Road in Shawnee. You may find some hold-overs from last year’s cancelled event, plus many new plants. Everything and everybody are outdoors in the fresh air! “I lost my rutabaga. I’m sure it will turnip somewhere.” If SunBasket had only called the overgrown turnip a Swede (SunBasket is an organic meal delivery service). I was familiar with the swede or Swedish turnip when we lived in England. The Scots referred to it as the neep. The recipe card stated it was a rutabaga. Actually, the rutabaga has dozens of names depending on the locality.
