what kind of vegetable is a swede
~ SWEDE Seed ~. We really like swede, as a verstatile and tasty winter vegetable. Swede, like potato, is a good way to grow a decent amount of food in an small space. Sow the seed outdoors in late spring-from early May through June. Keep them weeded, & cover or pick off caterpillars, and you should have nice big roots in autumn.
