Marian Rutabaga

85-95 days. The yellow-fleshed, purple-topped roots can grow as large as 8 inches, are fine flavored, and good keepers. Marian is club root resistant, highly uniform, and vigorous. Its short, wide leaves allow closer spacing. For a colorful medley at your dinner table, combine bite-sized pieces of rutabaga, turnip, beet, carrot, potato, onion, and bulb fennel in a single layer in a casserole dish. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake until done.
