The past 4 years I've grown purple top turnips and have had some great looking plots, but to my knowledge, they weren't touched by deer. They just got huge, rabbits ate to the tops of them, we cut some greens for our own use, and I bushhoged down the tall stems the next spring. I've quit planting them now.

Like to see that. I hope these early frosts get the deer using mine more often. Plan on sitting over my turnip and beet plot for juvenile with my nephew.

I never cease to be amazed how deer will go crazy over a particular plant in one spot and not touch it in another. And I've seen this with the same plant in different plots on the same property. I suspect differences in soil type/composition are the reason.

I figured our deer were just picky. The turnips were planted down the edge of a fairly large clover plot. There is a 5 acre corn field just a few hundred yards away which we flood for ducks, about an acre of beans equally close, and plenty of acorns. I figured they just never got hungry enough to try something new. But I have seen turnip plots in other places that looked like a mine field from deer digging.

Honestly, I've seen deer wear out a particular plant in one plot and not touch it in a plot 1/4 mile away. A real head-scratcher...
