I'm surprised by rzepa, that would normally be turnip, as it is in other Slavic languages (Rus, Ukr, Serb, Mak, I'm sure of, at least: repa, also seen as repka).
Oddly though, I have a Mak dictionary that lists repka as beet, which is way off from turnip.

"Turnip" is its usual meaning in standard Polish as well, but the substitution is not surprising since potatoes displaced turnips from the diets of most Central Europeans. It's somewhat similar to the way in which "corn" came to mean "maize" in the USA although in England it usually designated wheat (and oats in Scotland). Rutabagas were also a relatively late introduction to Poland and came to be called in places rzepa szwedzka "Swedish turnip".
