TURNIPS (Brassica rapa var. rapifera)

CULTURE: Turnips grow well in a wide range of soils, but do best in a loose, friable soil that allows the roots to expand. Plantings can be made in the spring, and at summer's end. Sow seeds l/4 to l/2" deep and thin to 5" apart, in a hexagonal pattern in block plantings.

HARVEST: Best-quality roots are 2 to 3" in diameter. Both roots and leaves may be eaten raw or cooked.

SEED SAVERS: Isolate a minimum of 600' for home use. For pure seed isolate at least 1/4 to 1 mile from turnips, mustard, and Chinese cabbage.

PACKET: 3 g (about 1350 seeds) sows 68'.
