Purpletop White Globe Turnip Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Turnips love cool weather. Sow seeds in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. They actually taste sweeter after a light frost!
2. Preparation: Choose a sunny spot with loose, stone-free soil. Work in some aged compost to ensure the roots can expand easily and stay tender.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. If planting for greens, you can sow them thickly; for large roots, space them at least 4 inches apart.
4. Care: Keep the soil consistently moist. If the soil dries out, the roots can become woody and overly spicy. Mulching helps keep the roots cool and the moisture in.
5. Pests and Diseases: Watch for flea beetles on the young leaves. Harvest the greens when they are 4-6 inches tall, and pull the roots when they reach the size of a tennis ball for the best flavor.
