Did you find out if there's any connection between turnips and catnip?

No, I haven't looked into it beyond asking here but I am still wondering. Maybe I'll have time to research this weekend

Also parsnips, I guess. They already seem akin to turnips.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Catnip was allegedly named after the Roman town of Nepi.

Turnip comes from the Greek nâpu and the Latin napus, meaning mustard.

I hate to say it, but I have no insights on either turnips or catnip.
