It’s back. Plant Records!

(For a bit of fun, every Friday our Plant Records Manager, Chris Bisson, the guy who maintains all the recorded information on our plant collections, will do a regular blog slot where he recommends his favourite “plant records” – that is, songs that are in some way linked to a plant. (Do you see what we did there?) )

‘Turnip Farm’ Dinosaur Jr.

The humble Turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) is a fantastic vegetable! It’s a brilliant ingredient for stews, soups,
pies and pasties. Not to be confused with the Swede the turnip is white and purple, with a whiter flesh.

Dinosaur Jr. although not directly singing the praises of Turnips in this slightly melancholy song, are most
definately influenced by the Brassicaceae Family, which you can feel in the more ‘twangy’ chords.
