Angela Rutabaga forms smooth, round roots with creamy yellow flesh and a mild, sweet-earthy flavor that shines roasted, mashed, or in stews. Tops make tasty greens. High in vitamin C and complex carbs, rutabagas were true winter staples. Sow midsummer for a fall harvest; cool weather sweetens them. Keep soil moist for even roots and thin early. Peel tough skin after harvest. If you want a dependable storage root that does more than turnips, Angela delivers heft and flavor.

How to Grow

Rutabagas develop the best quality roots when grown for a fall harvest plant seeds directly into the garden starting in early spring to late summer, or about 3 months prior to intended harvest. Sow thickly, then thin to 6" apart when leaves are about 4" high. Rutabagas prefer well-drained soils. Harvest after 1-2 good frosts, cutting off tops and storing for up to 6 months. Foliage can be harvested for use as fresh greens.
