Out of:- Legumes, Brassicas, Potatoes, Onions&Roots.

Logic tells me it should be roots, but something about it being brassicas sticks in my mind.

I'm ready to get sowing and planting TODAY!!!!!! :D :D :D

TIA

Radish - Raphanus sativus family Cruciferae
Turnip - Brassica rapa family Cruciferae
Cabbage - Brassica oleracea family Cruciferae

I'm not sure if Brassicas alone get club root or if family Cruciferae get it, probably safest to classify Radish as Cabbage.
