Meet the Purple Top White Globe Turnip – an heirloom turnip that's been around since 1890! This turnip is known for its uniform 6 inch smooth white globes, sweet mild taste, and fine-grained texture. It grows best when roots are 3-4 inches in size. The large leafy tops make great greens! Bears fruit longer than most other turnips, making it a great choice for your garden. Best of all? This turnip stores well, so you can enjoy it all season long! 1g ~ 250 seeds.

Turnips develop the best quality bulbs when grown in the cool weather of early spring or late fall. Plant seeds directly into the garden starting 4-6 weeks before average last frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 50-70 degrees. Sow thickly, then thin to 3-6" apart when leaves are about 4" high. This will be your first harvest of turnip greens. Grow again in the fall, roughly 4-6 weeks before your average first frost. Harvest roots when the are 2-3" in diameter.

Sorry we haven't planted

It's a VERY long story but I ordered seeds for my Dad, who uses a walker to move, did not prepare to plant. So some we will plant in the fall and others shortly.
